I think I know someone who could help answer this, Jim explain to everyone on here how you came to want to know what air felt like at a deep depth, tell them I talked you out of it as best I could. You wanted to see for yourself what it felt like, I would not let you do it. It was not until you did a heavy mix at 200ft did you realize you had been feeling it all along at the shallower depths and so that seemed normal to you.You did not ever have a clear head to compare it to until the deep dive.That is why students want to try air, they just don't know.It is risky to do what Von does, but at least he is on mix.
