Jess
You are correct , you did not tell anyone what tables to use.My point if
you missed it was you have never seen  someone get these things screwed up
, I have seen divers try to do what they think they learned off this list
and get it all wrong.Of course you would never see it as you dive with a
select group and if you did you are there to correct it.Just as the diver I
spoke of getting the Reg switching wrong , he emailed me to say the points
on the deep stops you made are good and I agree , but he also got the reg
wrong  off this list but will never post it , fear of the flame has him. He
got it right at our meeting , but how many out there got it wrong with him
on this list?I'm sorry to have gave you a bladder problem.
