That's the challenge with documenting this, btw... with something like
GFlow 5 GFhigh 10 most every dive is a deco dive and in 95% of my dives
I surfae before the deco time is over...

But with more realistic 30/75 or 35/80 settings... if you constantly
violate the ceiling, you may be doing something wrong :-/
