what do you use for the last stop depth? If I use 6m 69% whereas I get 47% if 
3m is the last stop.

If you want more details of what Subsurface is calculating (I might have 
slightly different settings from you) to compare to your manual calculation, 
here is the 6m version


po2=740  rate=0.000032 for t=299s
po2=1268         rate=0.000089 for t=1501s
po2=1025         rate=0.000056 for t=154s
po2=782  rate=0.000035 for t=86s
po2=750  rate=0.000033 for t=20s
po2=719  rate=0.000031 for t=100s
po2=687  rate=0.000029 for t=20s
po2=655  rate=0.000027 for t=1s
po2=1568         rate=0.000260 for t=99s
po2=1492         rate=0.000137 for t=20s
po2=1416         rate=0.000119 for t=100s
po2=1340         rate=0.000102 for t=20s
po2=1264         rate=0.000088 for t=160s
po2=1188         rate=0.000076 for t=20s
po2=1113         rate=0.000066 for t=220s
po2=1037         rate=0.000057 for t=20s
po2=961  rate=0.000049 for t=400s
po2=885  rate=0.000042 for t=20s
po2=810  rate=0.000037 for t=1s
po2=1619         rate=0.000428 for t=339s
po2=1467         rate=0.000131 for t=20s
po2=1316         rate=0.000098 for t=640s
po2=1164         rate=0.000073 for t=20s

and here is the 3m version

po2=740  rate=0.000032 for t=299s
po2=1268         rate=0.000089 for t=1501s
po2=1025         rate=0.000056 for t=154s
po2=782  rate=0.000035 for t=86s
po2=750  rate=0.000033 for t=20s
po2=719  rate=0.000031 for t=100s
po2=687  rate=0.000029 for t=20s
po2=655  rate=0.000027 for t=1s
po2=1568         rate=0.000260 for t=99s
po2=1492         rate=0.000137 for t=20s
po2=1416         rate=0.000119 for t=100s
po2=1340         rate=0.000102 for t=20s
po2=1264         rate=0.000088 for t=160s
po2=1188         rate=0.000076 for t=20s
po2=1113         rate=0.000066 for t=220s
po2=1037         rate=0.000057 for t=20s
po2=961  rate=0.000049 for t=400s
po2=885  rate=0.000042 for t=20s
po2=810  rate=0.000037 for t=1s
po2=1619         rate=0.000428 for t=999s
po2=1316         rate=0.000098 for t=40s

And here is a write up of how it gets to these numbers:

https://thetheoreticaldiver.org/wordpress/index.php/2019/08/15/calculating-oxygen-cns-toxicity/

But I guess the most important part of this is that these are not in any sense 
high precision numbers but more like ballpark guesses (see the Hamilton quote 
in the article).
