Hi Paul, Getting out of the water 3 to 5 minutes earlier is insignificant. I played=20 with the gradient factors on the program and was able to get out of the wate= r=20 faster on the DIR deco gasses. You can get the program to tell you what you= =20 want if you play with the numbers in the "preferences window." The trick is= =20 to learn about decompression theories & your physiology, and follow=20 recommended guidelines so you don't get hurt. I'm switching my GF%'s back=20 now... :o) Allyson Clagett In a message dated 08/28/2000 11:39:32 PM Eastern Daylight Time,=20 Bakalite@ba*.co* writes: Pardon my ignorance, but if the 50 and 100 % plan is so much better,=20 why do you have to stay in the water longer? Intuitively, that seems=20 inconsistent (I'm just asking, not trolling for flames). >> << <AllysonClagett@ao*.co*> wrote: ~ >Hi Karl, > >Using the deco plan (80/20) that gets you out of the water faster has your >tissue compartments on-gassing more Nitrogen than the (DIR) method through >all segments of the dive.
