Todd, this is important information - see if you can get it for
everyone. I lost my info on this years ago. I think Richie Pyle refound
it, however, but anything you can get would be appreciated by all.

What I had was a British video tape showing the effect . It was a
commercial diving training video for North Sea oil operations, I think,
and it was somebody trying to get me to stop diving air ( 12 years ago
).
