As gas, including inert gas like Nitrogen, gets dissolved in liquid the molecules become more 'ordered'. The proportional increase in order as gas increases to dissolve is known as Iceberg Theory. These Icebergs are found in liquids such as the proteins in the nervous system, and prevent the nervous system working as efficiently. As such Iceberg Theory relates to Narcosis. Hope this helps. Has anyone read the solo diving book by the same publisher (tastless pink cover) ? Hope I did n't get this wrong Tom ? Phil Straw, wanna be Tech.

This totally lost me, could you explain further please. TIA Paul Harris -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
