Why am I under fire?
In reality, I would rather use mix on 40m dives in cold water.
I personally hate narcosis.
At this point in time, I just read and consume knowledge.
Everything I have changed to DIR has made sense, and has made my diving
more enjoyable.
There is a saying: "The profesional man is always a student".
I think this also applies to diving.
On the issue of Pp O2, I believe George and JJ use Pp O2 nearer to 1.0, for
there bigger dives.
Mr Dangleberry, I do not know where you are coming from.
