For a lost deco gas it is way easier to stay with your team member and use the 50% reserve that he's carrying.
Now I appreciate that most don't team train as hard as we do, and so you may need to find compromise solutions like this where you're running more narcotic mixes at hotter ppO2s. |
Agree completely and that's the method that I'd have trained for with my regular buddies too!
With "random" (not in the true sense of the word but with groups from different schools of training) buddies then I can't necessarily guarantee this so would be planning for a shorter runtime.
In the example (depth and time) Andy used it would be a very tiny percentage chance (perhaps 0.01%, perhaps less??) that I would have to use that plan if diving with my more regular buddies. If with a less regular buddy then perhaps it would be more likely than that.
