Hi, i want know about the time on air break schedule. I count this on deco time or just for clean-up. the schedule i use, is 16 minutes on O2, for 6 minutes on back gas. If some body could help me, i will be glad.

I use 15 on, 15 off .... that way it gives your body a chance to flush out all that extra 02 and give it a proper gas break. But I don't count the off time as part of my deco schedule,

So 30 mins of pure 02 means 15 on, 15 off, 15 on, 15 off (so an hour of deo) ... my thinking is that using that kind of schedule has got to be conservative - coz technically you're still decompressing when using backgas (not as well though!)
