    That's why I was wondering whether He would be of any use in reducing
nitogen loading and keeping o2 levels normoxic- or am I trying to make
something simple complicated? Trey, Jim, anyone?

  I'm not very well versed in the use of helium at shallow depths.

  What are the advantages over, say, EAN 39?

  I can tell you right off though that at those temps and durations you can
  plan on some decompression time. Maybe not the massive times you've heard
of
  , but enough to warrant a smallish stage (30-40 cf) bottle of O2. I trust
  you are diving dry, staying well hydrated, and using a p-valve.
  Even tho the depth seems shallow, the temp and duration make me think
  that maybe helium would be a good idea here. Anyone care to comment?
  In the meantime If you want send me some of your planned profiles and
  I'll run them through Decoplanner and GAP.

  What type of problems are you going to run into when you extend the
running
  time from 2 hours to 3-5 hours or so?

  I'm planning a "long" but very shallow (40-50ft) dive, 45-55F.
