Dewey - the 1.4 is a maximum and is set by the deepest point you will
reach assuming a short dive. The number goes down for more time. An
example owuld be Ginnie Springs, which has a max of something like 105
feet, so you mix to the 1.4 at that depth, but most of the dive is at 85
feet, but you have called it 100, so are in bounds all around.

For long dives, I go to more like .9 to 1.2 with an average below that.
For a long max 300 I would use 10 or 11% oxygen and deco on the average
depth schedule ( usually more lke 285).
