   Let's keep working with the example that is already out there and
discuss that dive. It was a 228 for 20, I think. Whatever, let's make a
few choices up front.

1) let's keep the ascent rate at 30 fpm.

2) let's calculate the first stop

3) let's separtely calculate the standard deco

4) let's make an asusumption about saturation and then a scale to wrok
with

5) let's put the two together.

Will that work for everyone , or do we need another dive profile?
