Alumni,
When getting out of the chamber after hyperberlic exposure, bubbles can =
be seen
escaping from the skin if you put water over it. This would leed to the =
thought that if it is coming out of the skin, it probably entered there.
 Is it possible that wearing a dry suit may increase your exposure to =
increased pressures of gas from the large surface area of your skin. =
This may represent a factor into how much gas we are exposed to during a =
dive.
 Is it possible that using argon for the drysuit during long exposure =
dives may add another inert gas to our circulatory systems. During such =
a dive would it be possible to get DCS from the argon itself?

Comments?
Regards
Bill
