Yesterday, I wrote:

I like to be precise, but when writing that message I did not have the
documents in hands.  A few people questionned that quote so I had to go to
my initial source.  So here it is:

In the third issue of AquaCorps (DEEP issue), on page 52, there is a quote
of Peter B. Bennett: "At depths greater than 180 feet (6.5 ata), no trust
should be placed in human performance while breathing compressed air".  This
came from "Inert Gas Narcosis & HPNS" in Diving Medecine.
