Subject: one deco gas - N50 or O2, when?
Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2001 16:04:05 +0100
Hello guys,

Recently we had a disscussion with a few friends where some of them
advocated usage of N50 instead of O2 typically for dives like 55m/15min. My
opinion would be to choose O2 rather then N50.
Can you please answer me if there are a situations when it is more
appropriate to use just N50 instead of oxygen. Please add a few examples of
dives where would you choose O2 and where N50 as the only deco gas.

Best regards

The answer I received from George is too general for me to see where is the
effective border
Trey:
Depends on the bottom gas. Oxygen if the dive is shallow, 50% if it is
deeper . The idea is to get good deco at all the intermediate steps,
relieving the need for oxygen up high. Go by the bottom gas and the time.
Add gases as needed.
