From the volume of posts this weekend, it seems like nobody is in the =
water ;-)

I recall first reading that Trey calculates his deco in his head and =
thinking that this must be bull because my instroketor had us running =
profile after profile on Abyss when the mix came +0.1% o2 or when =
somebody realised that they had been diving for 10 instead of 8 years =
and so they needed to adjust their Abyss "j" factor.

This morning, the cave dive turned out to have worse viz and the tunnel =
a lot shorter than I had thought, so the bottom time was half what I =
planned (using Decoplanner).  What to do ?  Make up a new deco schedule =
on-the-fly using the old one as a starting point. =20

My point, by listening to the people who actually dive instead of those =
who read it in an agency manual, you can learn to do it properly.

Out of interest, I just re-ran the profile and it was almost spot on.

Simon Murray,
South Africa
