Dave,

I dive up there all the time.  While I agree that swells can pick up I have
a couple of comments.

1)  In all my years of diving up there, the swells have never been
problematic in terms of deco.  Are you using a jon line or are you trying to
hang onto the anchor line??

2)  use 100% not 80/20.

3)  Who are you diving/training with??
