Gareth you may want to look at those deep stops again. 45 minutes is at the very edge of 30 second stops to 65 per cent.

Work that has been done by various divers I respect appears to be showing that the intermediate range of stops is more critical to succesful deco than shallow - even on relatively short ocean dives.

That is why if I had to shave deco for any unplanned problem I'd cut it off the 6 metre stop. Having said that, my 'bailout' plan permits me to do normal deco. It would have to be a suit flood or similar to get me out quicker.
