Yes, it is.  If I actually dived, I would have to spend less time with my 
daughter.

You have a very strange definition of the word "never" (or maybe it's the 
word "whacked" that you are difining strangely?)

More than most people give you credit for, but substantially less than 
what you give yourself credit for.

I'd be interested in hearing about this.  I've always thought the eyes 
would be one of the best places to monitor blood gas load.  My "NWTMS" 
diver firends who spend too much time underwater to waste any time on 
email figured this one out years ago when their soft contact lenses woulf 
fog up after a deep dive.

Aloha,
