I obviously need to add a little detail to my comment. 
First I will say this is Tech Diver NOT scuba-l. I'm not trying to be 
elitist but I had the idea that 200 foot dives were the norm rather than 
the exception with this group. 

Second I would like to explain that the three dives were at Saturday 
at 02:00 am then two dives later in the day. The third dive was very 
long (distance not time) and we were almost decompressed when we got back 
to our line (as oppeosed to the main line). I was trying to convey in my 
original post the benefits of using O2. None of the dives were for an 
extended length of time. 

Third, the fatigue I was referring to was the next morning. After the 
third dive we drove straigth back to Washington, D.C. And I immediately 
hit the sack. I awoke the next morning not sure if I was under water, in 
florida or at home.

Again, I mentioned the dives only in passing. It's nothing to 
brag about, nothing to be ashamed about. It was just interesting to me 
that in retrospect we had done the dives without realizing they were all
in a 24 hour period and that we had NO problems due in no small part to 
our liberal O2 use.

Safe Diving
