Kevin With the number of hits by people who have ignored the CNS clock should be sufficient to warn the more safety aware persons of the risk of ignoring the CNS clock. Ignoring it is comparable to ignoring dive tables, it can and will catch up. Second sat divers are more concerned with pulmonary/whole body toxicity that CNS problems as they are either in surface supplied or in a habitat where the cns problem is not a risk. Technical divers however are usually in the water most often in a mask and regulator thus the CNS problem is by far the greatest risk. If you chose to ignore the clock that is a personal risk you accept but please do not try to influence others to be that irresponsiable.
