That's the problem with the generally available models. Decompression from Helium is *faster* than from Nitrogen, not slower. It also happens to be more prone to bubble if you drop the pressure too quickly. In practice, that means the first deco stop is deeper than the generally available models suggest, but you still finish deco in less net time. This is all still largely guesswork, though. -Mike Rodriguez <mikey@ma*.co*> Pn(x) = (1/(2^n)n!)[d/dx]^n(x^2 - 1)^n -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
