Most of the others, i have dived with lots of times and they have experienced 60+ several times.
No excuses needed, as i was comfortable with the plan beforehand.
77 dives is lots of times? It doesn't matter what they have experienced if you aren't very experienced yourself.

I take it you have deco training over and above your AOW qualification? Did your travel insurance cover you? Specialist diving insurance generally only covers you to your qualification level. Bog-standard policies are usually only to 30m. Who would get you home to Blighty if it turned to ratshit?

I'm currently doing an IANTD course that qualifies me to about 50m on trimix. I take it your dive was on air?
