My experience is small so I can be wrong.
I think it's better to set max ppO2 dependend on dive. For a relax dive 1,4
is safe, even 1,5 or 1,6 for a _short_ time (no heavy work of course) can be
OK. For CCR when you have the same ppO2 it's different and 1,3 is probably
the safe limit.

I'm looking for answer why some people say arbitrary something like "always
use standard GUE mix and max ppO2 1,2 or you're stroke" and they claim its
fundamental.
