Reasons NOT to use Enriched Air?

[dumpsterDiver]

The arguement made for 1.6 exposure at 130 (with 32%) was that there was a problem with the oxygen clock for 3 repet dives.. Thall.. shows that the no-deco limits will be the governing constraint.

However, if someone were to use a "rich mix" at a shallower depth (say using 40% at 100 ft) it would be closer to getting the diver into oxygen trouble rather than deco, especially if the SI were an hour or so.. yes?

Yes, and if I used 100% at 18 feet ...

Sorry I guess it was pretty obvious
