Thanks for quick responses! I'm new to the list and wasn't sure if people were just worried about exceeding 1.6 ATA, breathing high partial pressures, or long nitrogen exposures. I think this brings up another question which I might actually be able to answer for myself. I was going to ask for an explanation on what is "saturation diving". From a few previous posts and the information I got to my last question, I assume saturation diving is diving to the point where your body can't absorb anymore? My second part, which I think I've answered for myself was, is the "saturation" on nitrogen? To clarify, I assumed you could "saturate" on He but I didn't know if you could also saturate on nitrogen. I assume when someone is doing a saturation dive it's on O2 and He only? If I understood the information correctly, saturating on nitrogen would be harmful? Don't exactly understand the physiology of it but I can gather it's not a good thing. I usually never take anything on faith that something someone says is correct. I figure if all the people on this list actually agree on something, it's a pretty good assumption that the information is correct. :-) Thanks again, Safe diving, Art. art.paltz@r2*.co* Last Dive 4/13/97, Shark River Inlet, 45ft/40 minutes, 41 degrees F,21% O2 -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
