 When is too fine too close?
Janos
We all get tired after diving, nitrox can reduce this to a degree but a good nights kip is best. (which is strange as we all usualy end up in the pub drinking) You have to be very careful the way you read somthing like that, Zak has meant it in best intentions and by reading his other posts has built this up over years and further quantifies it wich the rest of his post, but when your new, it can be "dodgy" to get this close to DCI. The most basic form of DCI can be tiredness, lack of energy, pins and needles, skin rash and it gets progressively more severe from there. If you get any of these, after tired, you have pushed it too much and are on the verge of a chamber visit if your not already on your way. Stick to the tables/computer model and you are likely to be ok as these have been tested and are conservative. It is dangerous to start experimenting with less, even though you may get away with it for a time. Remember what keeps getting said here: Everyone reacts differently to deco, it even changes from day to day with your body chemistry, so what is right for one person may be totaly inapropriate for another of similar build.
James, I feel like I'm getting old writting stuff like this?
