What happens to all this extra O2 that we don't metabolize during a dive ? 
Does it not act just like any other inert gas disolving into the tissues and
needing 
to be offgassed just like N2 ahd He ?   

Though we are breathing considerably less of it are we reaching the point on
dives to 250'+ where it becomes a factor with tissues that might be
considered "fast" to oxygen, expecially since it does not disolve readily in
blood plasma ?

How would breathing high PPO2 during deco effect the situation in cases where
O2 offgasing may be a factor worth considering ?
