This is why we do not dive air deep, and would explain the spinal and
brain lesions, as well as the subclinical DCS symptoms following air
dives beyond the usual zone. On the other hand , we don't experimant
with powrful drugs under pressure, especially when conditioning and
non-narcotic mixes will produce the same result. I realize that this is
out of the question for some of the more vocal deep air promoters, but
then this fits perfectly : it takes a lot of work to do real tech
diving, and all it takes to deep air dive is stupidity and a place to
jump in.
