I think that being down there in oz is making the blood coagulate in your 
head. The reason you look for bubbles is to check the accuracy of your 
tables. If you have pushed your decom, more bubbles. No bubbles and you 
are either OK or your stops are too long. There is some argument as to 
validity of this correlation as this measures only the gas in your blood 
stream, not the gas trapped in tissues, but it is better than nothing. I 
believe both current Navy and PADI tables were developed using a doppler. 
You *do* scuba dive, don't you?
