Example: when stages are on the right and left it becomes hard to reach your note book, and that is one hell of an important peice of gear that both you and your team mates need to have quick access to.
WTF does that have to do with Ratio Deco? Ratio deco describes a depth/time curve. It has no connection with gear other than what gases are required. It doesn't matter if they are on the left, right or glued to your butt.
There is no magic behind Ratio Deco. It is easy to come up with a "ratio deco" for air deco dives (I think Scuba_Steve on SB called this TDIing it)
