Steve,
While I can't speak for Australia, I can speak for what might be
construed as common sense. If you are having problems getting O2 at high
enough pressures to give you the volumes needed to meet you decompression
needs, then why not switch to a larger volume, lower pressure
cylinder. This of course would allow you to have more O2 at pressures you
can achieve (by cascade) and eradicate having to resort to using a gas that
is less than optimal.
The reference to buoyancy control is referring to one of the old
arguments in favour of 80/20. You could find that if you search the
archives for "A Baker's Dozen" about 80/20.
Oxygen here also comes at 180 bar.
Sincerely,
Scott Hunsucker
