Jeff, get JJ's tables and use them if you must use tables. At least his have stood the test and are accomodationg for more than extreme physical condition, which my tables totally depend upon. His work for his students as well as for real diving. Mine are far shorter in the middle of the curve and miknimize the oxygen time, a risk many refuse to take and should not take unless they have my level of perfusion and vascularization, which only comes with long term conditioning. Also keep in mind that when JJ dives with me, he has likely already been diving all week and his tables still hold up, whereas I only dive if I absolutely have to other than shallow in the ocean with helium ( so as not to screw up my triathelon base). JJ's tables for the last three dives we did varied from mine as follows : 1) the setup for the swimthrough, 220 for 70 - he did 20 more of oxygen. 2) 220 for 95 the next day - he did maybe 30 more of oxygen and 20 more of intermediate depths. 3) 300 for 150 at Wakulla finishing off A Tunnel - he did about 30 more minutes than I did in the intermediate range, mostly at 40 feet, and the rest we did the same expcept he took one more round of oxygen while I went to 18/40 trimix and swam around in the water to work up faster ( I was trying to get to Lauderdale before midnight for a race the next day). Print out the IANTD tables on a roll of TP - that is all they are good for. Nobody there has ever done a real dive, and if they claim they have, they can come on here anbd correct me as soon as I stop laughing.
