Rich says,
Well then, if fewer people would die if the max EAD was 100 feet, let's
make it 100 feet.  It's an easier number to remember anyway.


Dave: A personal number makes more sense.  I know people who are fine at 130 ft 
and others that can't handle 80 ft.  If you are diving with mix you should have 
the judgement and experence with the enviroment to handle that sort of a 
decision.  I'm fine at 100ft but much fuzzier at 130.  If I was planning mix 
I'd use 100.
