When decompressing using EAN and air tables one could in theory follow
1 of 2 procedures to decrease the probability of DCI.  These are

    1.  Stop at the air table depth but improve off gasing efficiency by 
        breathing EAN.

    2.  Stop at the the depth where the EAD is equal to the air table
        depth and reduce the probability of bubble formation or growth.

I would guess that supersaturation models uniformly recommend procedure 1 while
nonsupersaturation models would recommend procedure 2.  Is there any hard data
to support either approach?
