I'm regularly at 60-80 meters depth does not determine the seriousness of the bend yes the recompression is longer in the chamber but a gas formation can be spinal/fatal in any depth, the only reason depth becomes an issue is if you go for the surface directly without stops. then IMHO you desrve what you get

Agreed

the set on the boat would be for the worst casualty or the unconscious one the other casualty's would use O2 cylinders or breath your rebreather on 100% or cant you do that on CCR?

response on the south coast is between 15 to 40 minutes (average taken from last year)
