"The above sums it up nicely. I spent years arguing that GUE were wrong in many ways before the fog of anger relating to the insulting behavior on the net of some of its disciples lifted and I could see it for what it really is. Standardized diving…"

"Again, I wholeheartedly agree with you Maciej (and Jeff) for the prudent reasons you both have articulated. If you feel that you have to place a disclaimer on instances of deep air diving for liability reasons, then do so for that reason . . .and…"

"Kevin. You are more than free to promote your own ideas on your own web site. We repeatedly stated that deep air diving is not advocated in any form by UTD and we will not allow for advice we deem unsafe to be dispensed from our site. That includes…"

"Well technically from a scientific method point-of-view, Ratio Deco in general is all anecdotal evidence (i.e. in comparision to a model like RGBM undergoing trials with NEDU etc.). But I get the gist of your meaning."

"So with all due respect, Ratio Deco is not an anecdotal protocol."

"Agreed Jeff . . .for all the caveats that you and Maciej as UTD Instructors have noted. As a layperson/testpilot/guinea pig by your characterizations --nevertheless I can only relay the anecdotal instances that I've experienced. "

"Incorrect attribution your part Mac . . . I was not bent as you claim as an end result of this strategy. Type I Bends Hit in Chuuk"

"Kevin. What you fail to mention is that, by your own account, you also got bent doing those dives with that strategy. Enough said. Regards Maciek"

"We've been down this road countless times. Ratio Deco is designed for standard gases. Anything outside of the standards, you're a test pilot. We don't advocate, condone, teach, recommend, or use non-standard gases. As Maciej said, the…"

"In the wrecks of Chuuk Lagoon, the Truk Odyssey Liveaboard offers free-of-charge Nitrox30: I used the Minimum Deco subset of Ratio Deco with a 10% EAD for a range of depths from 21 to 36m. The other deeper wreck dives I did were with Air Mix on the…"

"Hey Alexis. In UTD we strongly believe that due to gas density any mix, without He in it, is increasing likelihood of CO2 build up at depths bigger than 30m. CO2 is highly narcotic and it is also proven to precipitate CNS tox at much sooner and at…"

Hello happy divers,I really find the logics behind ratio deco interesting; especially recreational and tech-reational decos, as it corresponds to the diving I do.I am not helium trained and so am "stuck" with Nitrox 32 for all dives.but what if I need to dive a little bit deeper than 30msw, let say 35 msw, or 38msw on a weaker nitrox mix? How could I sort out my deco? would calculating the EAD and adjusting deco from the result a good idea? Or should I just don't dive below 30msw? Same question…See More
