Interesting, for a 100ft dive, with O2 deco at 20ft and 10ft.

Abyss 150 (50% Asymetrical Model) is yeilding
30 min  20 for 2, 10 for 8              TOTAL = 10
45 min  30 for 2, 20 for 6, 10 for 14   TOTAL = 22
60 min  30 for 7, 20 for 9, 10 for 21   TOTAL = 37


Abyss 125 (25% Asymetrical Model) is yeilding
30 min  20 for 1, 10 for 8              TOTAL = 9
45 min  30 for 2, 20 for 5, 10 for 15   TOTAL = 22
60 min  30 for 7, 20 for 10, 10 for 20  TOTAL = 37


Abyss 100 (Symetrical) is yeilding
30 min  20 for 1, 10 for 6              TOTAL = 7
45 min  30 for 1, 20 for 4, 10 for 12   TOTAL = 17
60 min  30 for 6, 20 for 7, 10 for 17   TOTAL = 33


So which one is right????
Are they all right?
Are they all wrong?

or does each individual diver have to make that choice for him or herself?
