Re: Diluent selection and the great alpinist v siege debate

Hi guys - just read my drunken post - sorry 'bout that

Anyway happy New Year again

Siting here now with VERY sore head coffee and greasy bacon sandwich -

I am a big advocate of gas that you can breathe on the surface panting like a steamtrain in a big current -

Back in my OC days I regularly dived with a mix that optimised deco - so it was always planned at close to 1.6 for every dive - did loads of dives like this - amazingly still here to tell the tale. So why is it so different with the breather.

I check my cells in a pot - to make sure they will produce the goods -

Most of us flush the loop with 02 around 6m anyway - which is where most of the dive time is anyway - if you are running SCR nice to have those extra molecules in there to leverage that gas as long as possible.

Gotta go need more grease.....
