    So do you shorten the dive or extend it with this stuff?

    This simple comparison shows how using just 7% less nitrogen in a mix will decrease decompression by more than 30 minutes. This is signficiant.

    What would the times be if the dive was on air with the deco on nitrox?

    Zero,

    Why would you consider the dive on air, if you would do the Deco on EAN? You are already investing in the EAN gas, so there is no additional expense. I do alot of tri-mix, with deco on 50% and 100%, and I can not even recall the last time I used air. I FIRMLY believe in the use of a gas that allows me an additional measure of saftey. EAN is not the " be all and end all" of magic gas, but it does afford me better options when diving.

    Helium isnt cheap down here so for 40-50m dives a lot of people just use air on the bottom and then flush out a bit with 40 to 80% mixes.
