Researchers think this has more to do with depth than the gas. There are studies that show that a person's psycho-nerological profile is immediately and permenantly altered with even a single exposure to really deep depths (like 1,000fsw). I was also personally talking with a guy a couple of months ago who's a current Hyperbaric doctor with the U.S. Special Forces. He was telling me about how he conducted one of these studies, and that the neuro-psych profiles didn't just change a little - they changed *alot*. One exposure, and they were a different person. I was down in the Carribean at the time, and how the conversation came up is itself interesting. The Dutch Navy apparently lost a nuke in the waters off St. Maarten a few years ago, and they side-scanned a huge area around the island in order to find it. In the process, they mapped something like 1,000 undiscovered wrecks, but they are all in 1,000 fsw! -Will > STEVE > > ______________________________________________________ > Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com > -- > Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'. > Send subscribe/unsubscribe requests to `techdiver-request@aquanaut.com'. > -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
