according to the dive profile and the ACCIDENT REPORT, in which the divers
stage  on air back to the area of hill 400 then switched to EAN 39, the
diver only spiked to 1.6 at the tailend of the dive momentairly the majority
of the dive was at 1.33 ATA (to 1.42). As you know going down the 400
passage the depths are less than 90 feeet mostly up in the 80 foot range
until you are almost to the dome room jump, where it drops back down to mid
90's. The profile was duplicated per the surving diver and the cns risk
would have been in theory safe. The sudafed being at 3 x perscription
doseage produces the same side effects(in fact side effects without overdose
can be present,) yeild the same symptoms as o2 tox. He may have toxed
without the sudafed but form all the data we have aquried on sudafed it most
likely played a significant role in the incident.
