If you really are tempting HPNS with your diving would you be happy with
the 10 pages or so that one training manual could give you?  Is one
lecture from an instructor enough information to make life and death
decisions about?  I'd think you'd be searching MEDLINE and searching for
any and all information available from commercial and other sources.
How about Bennett's studies?  How about bribing COMEX to get their
research data?

Here are some Bennett citations:

Bennett, P.B. 1982b. The high pressure nervous syndrome in man. In: The
Physiology and Medicine of Diving and Compressed Air Work. (P.B.
 Bennett and D.H. Elliot, eds), Balliere-Tindall, London. pp. 262-296.

 Bennett, P.B. 1990. Inert gas narcosis and HPNS. In: Diving Medicine,
Second Edition (A.A. Bove and J.C. Davis, eds.). W.B. Saunders Company,
 Philadelphia. pp. 69-81.

 Bennett, P.B, R. Coggin, and J. Roby. 1981. Control of HPNS in humans
during rapid compression with trimix to 650 m (2132 ft). Undersea
 Biomed. Res., 8(2): 85-100.

Good luck and have fun researching

Brian
