There is a REAL PROBLEM in training if KISS Instructors are not teaching how to lower PP02 in event of some sort of high PP02 state being reached in a KISS
Its taught Dave. Dil flush, with your
sensible choice of Dil (ie not superhot or superweak)

Agreed. Whatever it may be.
You simply wont see me diving hot dils, we fundamentally disagree that breathing a hot mix through choice is wise. I wont argue that superweak dils when not required arent optimal either.
Having said that, one of the benefits of a CCR is flexibility. I've tried to work on standard dils for depth ranges, but will quite often find myself running a 10/50 since its easy and gives shitloads of flexibility for channel wrecks. When we go away for caving weeks, we'll figure out our deepest cave and then mix a twinset of dil for that, decanting to drive the breathers for the whole week. At the end of the week, for the really shallow caves I'll dump the twinset and get it blown with something else to dive OC (since its less kit hassle/risk).
Optimal tools for the job is the point we're both making. Theres more than one way to skin a cat though and this thread shows that quite nicely. See, all civilised (and not once did I stoop to taking the piss out of "grits"... who eats that stuff!?)
Right. Im offski anyway, new years beckons and I need to calculate my optimal inebriation mix and ensure a bailout supply of american beer for when the real stuff gets too much
