Howdy!

I've added a bunch more info to my Rebreather WWW page, submitted by 
helpful techdiver readers.

New info includes an OCR'd version of technical info on the Bio-Marine
SeaPak 1000/CCR-155/CCR-1000, lots more info on the Japanese Grand Bleu
Fieno rebreather, and new info and another picture of the Dreager Atlantis
I rebreather.

(Note: my machine has been crashing for unknown reasons lately, if you 
can't get onto the web page, try again the next day)

Pondering the question of 100% O2 or 80% O2 for deco, I ran some tables. 
(Using MigPlan) (note: deco stops/times not included.)

(max pp02 set to 1.61 to allow use of 80% at 30ft stop)

200' on air for 20 minutes.

With 100% O2, total dive is 44minutes, 26.9% CNS dose.
With  80% O2, total dive is 43minutes, 24.0% CNS dose.

200' on air for 20 minutes, 40% O2 in travel bottle

With 100% O2, total dive is 41minutes, 28.5% CNS dose.
With  80% O2, total dive is 41minutes, 25.2% CNS dose.

Looks like a definate WIN for 80%.  Less deco time, less O2 dose.
