Thanks to all who responded privately to me about this.
The consensus was that heliox is preferred if the goals are
to eliminate nitrogen narcosis, and to effect rapid off-
gassing of inert gas (besides deco on 100% O2).  But one
respondent stated that DCI with helium is well-documented
and just as dangerous as nitrogen.  Has anybody seen this,
a decompression accident with heliox, and was treatment
similar to a nitrogen hit, i.e. Navy table 6 or 6a?  Again,
would like to hear facts, not opinions/rants.  MJB
