Mdemon,

I've been on the injured list here lately, so haven't had much will to sit down to side by side runs of the two. I am getting back in action now, so that will be a "project".

I have been hearing a lot lately, about various programs and the effect of the depth of their deep-stops, and the timing of same. We know, of course, that they affect the shallow stages in any program, but there seems to be little info on comparisons in general, and none on exactly how each algorithm affects its own shallow stages.

Any thoughts?

Rob

Hi Rob,

Sorry to hear you've been out of action - I hope you are on the mend.

I'm not an expert and I would also like to see those comparisons, the affect on shallow stops. Additionally, I'd like to see the effect of heliox compared.

And finally, I'm also wondering whether the out of vogue "bend and mend" type theories have a place in bailout - the concept being get shallow fast, closer to help, on to the O2 early and less travel gas needed.

Anyone else have any theories?
