Wentland,

If you cant come up with any better excuse for not using 100% as decogas =
you better go figure.=20

If you know that the weather is bad and that its going to make your deco =
hazardus, whay do you still consider doing the dive? Is it realy worth =
getting hurt only becouse you dont know how to estimate the real and =
potential risk and how to deal with it.

Would it be that hard to just do your deco a bit shallower if you have =
problem with high waves and worry about your changing po2? I guess I =
know the aswer, you are treating your self during your deco rather than =
decompressing.

In the dopler ultrasonic tests I have taken part in, oxygen clearly =
works better for me aswell as the deeper stops do. No bull, facts and no =
personal preference made up by non active divers who does not expose =
them self.

my humble thoughts
Richard
