When it comes to deco violations AIr is much more forgiving than helium,
Do you have any clue what the hell you are talking about??????
This statement is pure nonsense... Helium is a MUCH more forgiving gas.. This is what Karl Shreeves is pimping in the PADI RecTec class and you have no budiness discussing technical diving, let alone teaching it, if this kind of nonsense is what you are promoting..
Only if you are using the Buhlman algorithm ( and most tech diver's long ago realized that Buhlman doesn't account for He) will your statement be true.. Read up on the RGBM of the VPM theories first and then talk to use about air being more forgiving than Helium..
