TABLE 13.1 BOTTOM MIXES
*10'  100' 3m - 30m 32% Oxygen
110'  150' 33m - 45m 21/35 (O2/He)
160'  200' 48m - 60m 18/45 (O2/He)
210'  250' 63m - 75m  15/55 (O2/He)
260'  400' 78m 121m  10/70 (O2/He)

*FYI - As pointed out in a previous post, dives less than
100' 30m might be better served using 30/30 (O2/HE).

TABLE 13.1 DECOMPRESSION MIXES
20' 6m 100% Oxygen
70' 21m 50% Oxygen
120' 36m 35/25 (O2/He)
190' 57m 21/35 (O2/He)

I pulled this out of the archives, JJ posted this a while back. I just added
the note about the 30/30 mix. Hope it helps.
