The OCS does not have any air integration at all (wired/wireless).
However, it's able to calculate saturation, deco etc. with up to 3
different gases (starting always with gas one). On this dive, a switch
from gas 1 (air) to gas 2 (EAN52) was done at 21:45

I will ask if she also has some other dives with gas changes logged on
this DC, but this will also take some time :-)
