Hi All,
As ever I have another weird question which stems from my lack of knowledge. I've come across the idea of air breaks or cleanup breaks. What's the principle behind it? Does the air break time count as part of your deco stops or is it additional time tacked onto the deco?

12 mins on 6 mins off. Helps cool down the lungs as high (1.6 ppo2) o2 exposure can "fry" the alveoli in the lungs causing vasoconstriction .
With a 20 min 6m stop break it into 2 x 10 min with a break in the middle.
