I did read it carefully and I did see it took 15 minutes to get there, but that is the point I was making about understanding gradients and deco curves.. If you missed it let me know and I'll exlplain it...
The deco program the guys at IANTD use [ie; proplanner] has a screwed up algorithm and the very point is that it provides significantly more deco than is necessary..
As for the line I draw about life support, it's simple I don't do a 300' dive with my support team.. It's non-negotiable, not subject to debate and isn't even considered amongst the guys I dive with..
This guy would more than likely be alive today had he had proper support..
