The 12 of O2 is on the trapeze. The shot gives precise depth holding and the boat will be expecting you there. Normally you want to be on the shot. If you have a problem you really want to be on the shot so you go tooled up to do it.

It is strange how the more tech the diving the more we revert to things like tables and shot lines that we gave up when we started to become teckies.

Thanks for that Nigel... have always wondered that one!
Wouldnt like to have to make the call though!
For my diving, I usually only do 10 mins max of deco... (I get too bored!)
Cheers
