Another vote for keeping a bottle or two of HP premixed dil in the garage.
We get 15liter / 300bar bottles, that can fill a 3liter to 230bars a lot of times before we need to fire up (no pun intended) the booster.
Keeping two bottles (or more of course) as a cascade, could keep you with dil for a while, and the blending-part is only done a few times a year.

Excellent setup!!!

Easy to work with. I know of a few divers have the same setup for the CCR units.

That deep?


Used to love 80/20 Heliox.... END = 0 and always deco'd clean.....

HPNS is not an issue for most of our profiles....

Helium is cheap in quantities used in rebreathers......

So: Maybe it's time to look back at Heliox again. Run some profiles for 60 meters and let's see what it looks like. All of my He02 experience was using USN partial pressure tables, be interesting to look at it again using modern deco software.

Geeze -- one would want a break from the kids now and then. Air on OC to 100 msw ...... takes all the troubles away .....................


My daughter turns 9 this weekend and my son Jona will be 6. He mixed my gas for me the other day........ he's pretty good at it. Righty tighty -- lefty loosey ....

Remember the old days? 300 feet on Bloody Bay wall on air, now *that* was a stress reliever....
Kids these days don't know how to have fun...... Wonder how we old farts ever stayed alive....


Anyone model a few 60 meter Heliox dives yet?

Buhlman comparison is below, however the result is about the same, the heliox plan has 150% of the deco of the trimix plan.

Re: heliair vs trimix

boys, what your failing to say is that Heliox brings a few other problems than just a bit longer deco.

Bailout is a bit more trickey with which gases to use, also along with a lot higher costs of mixing helair in bailout tins.

I see (x)Plan and I'm coded to see a "Z".....

Confirms what I'd guessed, so that's that. Worth the comparison. Back to trimix now.

Dave -- here ya go -----------


I wouldnt fly this at 1.6 atm for deco -- too hot. When i ran it that way it gave me 8 minutes of time savings and a CNS of 106% With deco i am not big with screwing with too many variables. Now you can also run this with a 1.2 PO2 set point on the bottom and drive the deco to 1.4 atm PO2 and that keeps the CNS at 52% and OTU at 132 but drives the total run time to 100 min.

Run the same profile on 15/50 dil and the deco is virtually the same when run with a 1.3 set point. Or do the 1.4 / 1/6 game and end up with 82 min of run time with a CNS of 100% ......... A bit agressive for sporty stuff. ...... now if you want to fly through this run it on USN Workman tables and be out in a total run time of 76 min and a CNS of only 85% ......

All tables work it's your body that fails you!

Cheers
