The longer the dive, the lower the PPO2 and we break every 20 minutes during
the deco to backgas until we go to oxygen - then we break every 12 minutes.

I pretty much ignore the first dive when doing a second dive.  If you did
the deco right the first time, it shouldn't matter.  All that repetitive
dive nonsense is for poorly perfused people.  The real risk of repetitive
diving is the repetitive oxygen exposure, not DCS.  So it's safe to say that
if you did a serious dive the first time, you shouldn't be doing a second
dive anyway.  If you did a bullshit dive, who cares, you can do twenty of
them.
