You need to talk to the WKPP guys about the human pretzels they
see----typically very fat guys with poor aerobic base.  The fat guys will do
twice the deco the WKPP guys do, and be sceaming in pain after their dive.
Ask Bill Mee or George.   On their last revovery attempt dive here, George,
Bill, and Robert did 250 for about 24 minuts, and did deco for 45 minutes.
And this was a working dive.  The obese, sedentary divers would NOT be able
to do this profile without major pretzelling------and then after this dive,
we all went to dive the hole in the Wall, a cave dive on a ledge---ave depth
about 140, for like 30 minutes. We did about 20 minutes of deco and we were
out.
