You use what you have and do almost the same schedule, do not lengthen the intermediate stops or you will get bent. Joseph, deco is bullshit they way it is taught and perceived by most people. It is a combination of things - just not having the right gas does not mean doing more time, it may even mean doing less time. The results may be different, but not consequential. You need to forget everything you ever learned and start over in order to understand anything that I say about this. You also need to lose the bullshit fear - if you were to get bent, it is no big deal it is bullshit. A CNS hit is a bad thing, but that is not from bad deco, that is from preconditions. Some people with preconditions can dive , but they need the exact gas and they are taking an unnecessary risk by diving so I will not even acknowledge them in any discussion . I have done these dives with no deco gas and no lengthening of the schedule. It is so simple, but everyone makes it so hard an mysterious. -----Original Message----- From: Gliviak, Jozef <Jozef.Gliviak@co*.co*> To: 'trey@ne*.co*' <trey@ne*.co*> Cc: Techdiver@Aquanaut.
