The major issue was related to the maximum oxygen partial pressure allowed in recreational diving. A maximum PO2 of 1.6ATM was accepted based on its history of use and scientific studies. In line with these recommendations Sea Saba continues to offer 32% mix for all its dives. This also allows for a 'best mix' scenario whether diving Saba's famous pinnacles at 110-130ft (32-40m) or a shallower choice. The mix allows us to maximize our extended bottom times, while minimizing our exposure to nitrogen and oxygen loading and DCS risk--as well as having the flexibility to change dive site plans if conditions so dictate. Further information on the findings of this workshop can be found in DAN's complete report found on DAN's website.
