| Re: Trimix Versus HeliOx and Deco time
Quote: (Originally Posted by fireman)  I believe there should be significant advantages to heliox on CCR's, while avoiding open circuit disadvantages such as cost and multiple gas mixes.
If diving ccr Heliox (and avoiding risk of IBCD) your bail gas may also have to be Heliox so you may need a good sized booster - and cash. On deep dives and rapid descents Heliox can lead to HPNS so adding some N2 may be beneficial. Descending at 10m/min on a deep dive - no thanks, Ill live with EAD of 30m ish
