Defiantly not giving advice, he asked for opinions, thats my one. I wouldn't advise any one to do any deep diving whats so ever. Its bloody dangerous.

On the other hand I personally don't see the importance of depth relative to diving CCR. It will kill you just as easily at 10m as several incidents will attest. If you rack up 60mins of deco at 40m or 60mins of deco at 70m whats the difference? I built up deco commitment rather than building up depth.

To me if the CCR did something i didn't like then Id go OC. I still have this opinion. Some of the high end CCR skills are only relevant to me if I don't have enough bailout gas.

I know what your saying Mark but it's less stressful sorting out a problem at 30m than 60m, even if it is a physiological thing.

Like I say it would depend on the hours on the unit and gradual depth progression, that's how it worked for me anyway. You have to have the basics nailed before moving on.
