Your are quite righht.  There were many stange looking faces after reviewing
the dive profile.
The first stop was indeed at 80' (24m) for 1 minute.  Many of us have learned
from this 
experience, like you guys all have in the past.  The main difference is that
Trimix diving
is practised far less frequent than in the US due to the fact that Helium costs
2 to 3 
times more.  See the three on 'Helium & O2 Grade', also 'Gobber Grade'.

Subsequently, I have moved to the Abyss 150 algorythm, often using 120 with a J
factor of Ne
+ 10%.

So we learn!

Dennis.

You are kidding right? I ran a profile on a 300' dive and it said the first
deco stop was at 80'. You have to run the 150 to get anything near a reasonable
deco, or you could stop wasting your time with the Abyss and get Decom.

We showed JJ the deco profile, and you should have seen the look on his face!
