  What do you think of a PO2 set at 1.6 vs 1.5?

  Sometime you will have it share the details with us. It would make for a very interesting story.

  I use none of those settings, that is why I've never been to a chamber. The only time I reach 1.4 is at gas switch in deco or MOD. When diving Nitrox I make multiple dives and high PPO2 is cummulative.

  Dive at 1,4 or lower, deco at 1,6.  It's safer that way.  ALways stack the cards in your favor.

  1.4 for working part of the dive, 1.6 for the deco. If it was a dive in UK waters that may be challenging at 6m, i may work off 1.5 on deco just to be cautious.

  Depends on your profile. If multileveling it, then 1.4 max. But if you are maintaining a constant depth, then consider 1.2 to 1.3. The objective of nitrox is not to get the highest ppO2, but to use it as a tool based on your profile.
