1. Proper hydration

2. Deep stops

3. Proper breathing pattern- you can easily give yourself CO2 headaches by breathing wrong.

HE2 might be absorbed faster, but it also comes out faster. IF you have the skill, meaning proper bouyancy control and ability to make controlled ascents, I see no problems with switching to triox. Some of the bad hype that it gets (not for recreational divers) is the EXACT same story that we used to hear 10-12 years ago about nitrox, and now look what has happened to that! In another 10-12 years triox will be no big deal.

It is a bit more expensive, but if I wear one of those rebreather guys I wouldn't dive anything but triox since the expense issue would have been negated at that point.

I think that you'll find the biggest difference by adding in some deep stops to your dive plan. I know that it made a huge difference in my post-dive fatigue. Actually, it elminated it. Big Grin
