Here is another angle from the man himself .. Appart from narcosis, I would think if you plan a dive with over 1.6ppO2 at your working depth you need your head read. An OxTox hit at 60m is kind of final and also outside of your control. I don't like things outside of my control - do you ?

He likes messages about deep air. ---------- From: gmiiii@in*.co*[SMTP:gmiiii@interserv.com] Sent: Thursday, 1 August 1996 12:30 To: Guy Wittig Subject: Re: Deep air It is hard to belive that helium is much more expensive than here. We pay .20 per cu foot, or about 35 for a hundreds fill of 50%. Nitorgen under pressure cuses the red blood cells to become rigid, ripping the small cappialry walls, and triggering all kinds of strectch recptors and nitorc oxide releases, which in turn trigger autoimmune repsosess that in a nutshell, aer what give the spinal and breain lesions , the feeling of tiredness, and the localized bends. The Germans hav long ago shown and proven the steady debillitation of narcocis at any depth, and the Navy long ago dispelled any myths of aclimitization - there is none, only getting used to being fucked up. It is silly, so we don;t do it. We are still trying to rmap Wakulla Springs which ws hoplessly fucked up by air divers originally. We konw better now, but if you can not get helium, don't deep dive. I uswed to do it, and now I hate the feeling and the results. - G George M. Irvine III DIR WKPP 1400 SE 11 ST Ft Lauderdale, FL 33316 954-493-6655 FAX 6698 Email gmiiii@in*.co*
