Subject: Re: What is Deep?

I believe that deep air is an individual thing.  If you want to dive to 
400 feet on air then fine if you want to dive to 130 then fine too.  I 
think that limiting yourself to 130 because of narcosis is a personal 
thing.  some people are affected much sooner than that and some much 
lated.  In any event narcosis CAN be largely psychological and can 
definately be controlled.  The reason dives are limited to 130 is 
because of no decompression diving  since deco diving is a regularly 
practiced thing then why the limit?  If its personal then thats fine but 
trying to limit it seems silly O2 tox is a good reason and on air with a 
PP of 1.6 you are at 218.  Me telling someone how deep they can dive is 
like me telling somone how high they can climb(for those of you 
flatlanders living in florida I am refering to rock climbing)

Make a personal choice and don't be flaming others because theres is 
differnent.  every one is different and at a higher level of training 
make your own desisions and if you kill yourself then you wont make 
anymore stupid ones and the world will be a better place.
