Heres a interesting problem, ( to me anyway ).

MOst dive boats in the UK, Private or otherwise carry a O2 kit for emergency
purposes.

In the event of a missed stop or a suspected deco incident, we would put
said person on O2 on the boat.

However would we be better giving the person the O2 kit and accompanying them
to 6m and telling them breath it there, Knowing that the treatment may be
1.6 times better but only 1/1.6 times as long, if you follow my logic
( probably flawed).

Tom.

I have to go down to the sea again, to the call of the running tide
Tis a wild call but a clear call,  that cannot be denied.
