Subject: Neon and Argon usage.
Recently someone asked about the possible use of Neon and Argon as breathing
gases for technical diving. I replied that there is some limited usage
currently occuring with those gases as intermeadiary or transitional deco gases.

FOr that reply dear old george shot me a few terse comments.

Question?
How many of you are seriously interested in the possible usage of these gases.?

Abyss now has the ability to generate "hypothetical/experimental" deco
schedules using Neon and Argon as inert gases. If there is any real interest
I would be willing to create a series of schedules where we could compare a
series of fixed dive profiles, such as...

All Air
Air & optimized Nitrox
Air, optimized Nitrox & Oxygen
Air, Tri-Mix, optimized Nitrox & Oxygen
NeOx, optimized Nitrox & Oxygen
Tri-Mix, optimized ArgOx & Oxygen


As this would take me a fair amount of time, I don't want to do it unless
there is some real interest.

If george was right, then there is nobody who is interested in this
information, and it should be witheld from general discussion.
