Julian- Thank you for your comments. Let me repeat, I go on dive boats, and we mix out on the boats. We put the sensor tube up the valve and crack it to get our reading. As I said on the page, analysis is a *combination of using charts/gauge and the sensor*. If the twain shall meet then you are good to go. If you are worried about it, throw in a 5% safety factor instead of a 2% saftey factor, which is what we do when mixing in adverse conditions. The back of a dive boat at midnight doing 18 knots through 4' seas is not conducive to laboratory conditions. Like I said in the page, if you are going to be anal about this you will loose your mind. If you are trying to squeeze every last second out of your deco schedual by pushing your exposure to 1.5, 1.6 or higher, YOU ARE THE ONE PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE, BUDDY. This is not rocket science, and all you blowhards out there trying to make it rocket science is a bunch of unmitigated BS. And, BTW, if you come across someone who knows what they are talking about, please let me know.
