Subject: trimix descent rates
To: techdiver@aquanaut.com
Hi, the current issue of Advanced Diver Magazine has a article called Oxygen 
Enriched Trimix, which deals with mixes with a 02 of 21 to 28%. The article 
states that the descent rate should be 30fpm, and that ''The danger in 
descending too fast is that the inert gas uptake may exceed what is planned 
for the schedule, which can increase your risk of DCI''.  Question: What is 
the current conventional wisdom on proper descent rates for trimixes?  
thanks.......Joe Boone
