Subject: Re: Deco schedules
We do the same usless he has been teaching all week, and then he stays
longer at the upper intermediate and oxygen stops.

On the other hand I have a max deco that I will do, and I also like to
experiment. On that last 18,000 foot dive, I did only 7 hours 40 minutes
for a six hour and ten minute bottom time at 285. I was assuming that if
I got wacked, I would just get back in - that was not necessary. JJ did
the known deco fot that profile ( we already had a 6 hour dive to that
same tunnel).

On our last dive togehter, a 130 minute bottom time at 285, we both got
out at the same time.

Oddly enough , what works to my advantge and more and more to Jarrod's,
is that I am older and have been working out for so many years that I
have a massive aerobic base and vascularity associated with it, as
anyone who has ever seen me up close can tell you. This allows me to
offgas very effectively.

I did a 260 rectangular for 23 at the bottom minutse and only ten
mintutes deco in an emergency situation, and then redid the dive 20
minutes later for ten with a 3 minute safety stop - that gives you some
idea of what I can get away with. JJ and I have been doing provocative
decos for ten years without incident.
