I seem to be confused, how is this a bailout? Maybe I missed something in
the report but it seems like they didn't have a proper bailout plan. How can
you function (let alone try to decompress) with a 10% O2 mix. It seems like
maybe an extra bottle of 50/50 may have made a difference? At least @ the
60' stop (where a problem seemed very apparent) they could have switched to
the 50/50 and did the decompression on open circuit.
