A little trick we sometimes use when wishing to do multi deep dives off same fill is to go onto OC Oxygen during the 6m stop.

So in some cases like this, going to OC at 6m can give me say an extra 35mins of scrubber time that will enable me to do another deep dive off the same fill.

Going to surface supplied (or staged) OC at 6m also saves having to mess around with O2 flushes and reduces need to refill on-board O2 so often.

That sounds like an interesting trick... Not having a booster I'm always sending back half-full J's of O2. Maybe I could be sticking the rest in a 15 and breathing it off - saving slime and halving my O2-costs...
