Mike,
    This is one of the upcoming discussions planned with the oxygen series 
of posts.  I plan on putting out CNS tonight, then pulmonary, then negative 
affects of O2, then how we handle the risk, and finally things that we have 
learned to make usage safer.  If you can wait a  couple of days I will get 
to your question.
    I will say in brief that most people using 80% do so because they have 
done it for a while, or those that trained them did it that way.  As I will 
hopefully point out, 100% is the optimum gas for decompression.  Then again 
many people advocate the use of 80% because they can't stay at 20 FSW so 
what does that tell you?
