I don't know where the profile you used came from but not a single model i have gives me that short a deco. Even if you only did 10 min on the bottom 50 min of deco would be in order.

I agree. Theoretically, that seems very aggressive. I'm glad it works for them, though, just goes to show you how little we really know about decompression.

Red Sea Explorer, I guess you use your own form of ratio deco, with a deeper setpoint than usually? Do you use 90m as your 1:3 setpoint? If so, why, and why do you opt not to carry the 35/25 for the deeper stops?

Whatever you use, I guess you are right that you should have added 15 minutes :-) Your BT was around 20, no?

EDIT: Sorry, I misread the chart, it's only 10 minutes BT. So to answer your question Joel, they seem to be using more or less exactly the deco approach described by AG here: http://www.5thd-x.com/xducation/pdf/ratiodeco.pdf
