I can see all those problems going away by doing better deco on dives than the recommended 3 minutes at 15'. 1 minute at 60', 1 minutes at 50' etc. It cost less.

Derrick, do you have any factual data to back that up? I'm just curious. I don't see how doing 1 minute stops every 10 feet is going to be the same or equally effective as diving nitrox. Jason Baker and I started doing deep stops up in Superior though on the Madeira but we were still diving nitrox. Deep stops are a good idea and I plan to do them going forward but I don't see how that alone will equal the increased safety that nitrox brings. I just don't see how nitrox is not worth it. I'll spend the extra cash on nitrox fills to increase my safety if I'm doing repetive dives out of town. For around here diving Square and Perch, etc. I'll stick with air.
