When doing long range deep diving it's very common to have tri mix, 100% oxygen for decompression, and some times heliox. A great little read here by deep six.

     Ah! Oxygen - the gas of life. Without it for a few seconds and the world disappears from view. Too much of it can be a bad thing as well.

Why a Rebreather?

A CCR has many advantages, one off the bat is a constant PPo2 setpoint of 1.4 which means that at a depth of 150 feet with a trimix (just useing numbers not actual ones for this depth) 21/23 bottom time of 20 min total time to the surface is 34 min.

With an open circuit with the same trimix, the total run time is 45 min!!!!

Both dives have 100% o2 for deco stop at 20 feet as well.

If we remove the 100% o2 for the stops on a rebreather for same profile dive the total run time is 35 min, where the same dive profile without o2 on open circuit the total run time is 70 mins.

What a nice too hot of day. 26 on the surface a nice 4 degrees at depth. 65 feet for 89 min exploring with a vis of 3 to 4 feet...... hope it soon settles out and quartzite cleares up. On a side note quartzite is loosing depth there is a huge fracture line at 42 feet and the shelf had broke off and max depth now is 89 feet thats 9 feet less then last year.
