Although I am relatively new to the list, I have picked up some useful information. As a physician I find that most of my patients don't exercise enough, and in fact most people in general don't exercise nearly as much as they should. I am very much aware of the risks associated with exercise after diving, in particular the increased risk of developing decompression illness, both clinically and subclinically. I have read, with interest, some of the recommendations made by you folks with regard to which gas mixtures are best and/or safest, especially if heavy exercise is anticipated during the desaturation interval following a technical dive. I am beginning to think that Nitrogen may someday become obsolete as a breathing gas, and maybe we should eliminate it altogether when diving. While I don't care to enter the war of insults that inundate this list, I do appreciate the information. Mr. Irvine has taught me a few useful things already, and when I read about how much he exercises, (running, biking, etc.) that certainly adds credibility to what he says, like it or not. Maintaining a certain level of physical fitness is fundamental to safe diving, whether recreational or technical. I will continue to watch this list for tips. Thanks George, and thanks to the others who exercise hard while pushing the diving envelope. Michael J. Black, M.D. ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
