First, a bit of advice,  Work up dives are crutail to your success on the
Doria.  Dive in high
current, low visability( a swift river) and do many planned dives to 180-190
range to get a good
feel for the narcosis level.  
	As for the mix, keep your ppO2 at about 1.4-1.5 as the temp is low and the
current is hard
work.  Add enough He so that your narcotc depth is 180-190 depending on
individual tolerance.  If
you can't figure your percent given this information, you may need to seek
additional
training.(IANTD, ANDI, or U.S. Navy)  It doesn't matter where your education
comes from, but
several people die on the Doria every year, so it's important.  
	I recall a case when one guy died, and he was susspended, gear and all, at 40
ft because
the coast guard wouldn't come out to get him.  Whst a feeling to pass a dead
man going up and
down......     Which boat will you be going on?  If it's the Wahoo, tell those
beautiful woman on
the crew that Joey says "Hey"
