Don, that has all been in the body of the discussions. We use a nitrogen
equivalent of no more than 130 and prefer 100 or less for back gas,
quite a bit less when possible, deco gas at no more than 130, but less
is preferred and this is with trimix on the back, we do not worry about
hpns, proper use of oxygen means short exposures with breaks.
