This point was recently discussed (argued on Rebreather World). You can probably find the thread by doing a search. In any event, my personal experience shows me that I am in need of helium at a shallower depth on CCR than I am on OC. I don't totally understand why. I have several theories, including increased task loading, but I'm not sure there is any scientific proof to it one way or another. I just know for me, the narcosis starts slightly shallower on CCR than it does on OC.

Regards,
Randy
