Subject: Re: correction Re: Deco For This Weekend's Dive
In the intermediate steps the low window stops are better effected by
increasing the gradient. The stops go parabloic back onto themselves if
you extend them unnecesarily, as per the standard formulas. 

The back gas breaks are not shown as they are included in the deco stop
times. The biggest break was 20 minutes on back gas as part of the 52
minute 50 foot stop and the 12 on 6 off oxygen at 30 feet.

By the way, the dive broke the old 18,065 distance record, only this
time it was just Jarrod and myself, so now we know out two man system
works wuite well. We had only 130 minutes left our my fourth scooter and
a full fifth scooter when we hit the end of the line at 18,065.

I swam this morning to work out and to check my condition. My mile times
were a steady 22.5 minutes per mile in fresh water , same as before the
dive.
