I guess he also got info from one of the people aboard the chopper that flew the bent victims. I can't say it's true with 100% reliability, but if it is, it is just one more stick in the voodoo doll for doing deep air dives. Unrelated opinion: Just do it right and learn mix when you reach the "imparement" zone. I keep seeing more and more people who should seriously reconsider wether 150+ is a depth at which they can reliably operate.
