Yeah, but if you're doing the dives that you need 100% O2 for deco, you ought to be able to control your buoyancy a lot better than +/- 5'. If you can't you have NO BUSINESS doing that kind of dive. This includes students, if you don't have buoyancy control you need to work on BASIC skills before working on doing deco dives requiring 100% O2.

While the PO2 of 50% at 70 is 1.56, a change in depth to 75 feet ups it to 1.64, a difference of only .08 and not a big deal. The same five foot change in depth on 100% at 20 feet takes the PO2 from 1.61 to 1.76, a much more significant increase of 1.5. A similar statement can be made for 80%. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
