My point to my wife exactly, when she wants me to mow the
lawn the day after a dive-day. Putting out the cat is as hard
as it gets.

Nope. Be interesting, though. I'd love to have a doppler
to carry on the boat for grins. Be neat to show people
what is really happening.

Always do. I've had several cases of DCS as a commercial
diver and do not wish to repeat same without a chamber on deck. 
Elbows still crack from whatever Sat does to them. I'm very 
conservative with the exposure. 

Another topic: I've still got my dive logs from the gulf and just
found a set of our old company  tables for mixed gas. 
I'm going to run the profiles against the software available today
and compare them to the company profiles. Be interesting so
see exactly how badly they were hurting us each day. I know
that they were. I'll report in a day or so. I'm sure that the tables
were as primitive as can be, circa 1975.
