Subject: Re: My dive this weekend an "Air" thing, Dec 12, 1999
Grant, I think it is all the same. We just do not realize it unless we
have a measuring stick. At 300 feet way back in a cave, the measuring
stick is more evident. 

The U of South Carolina ( the "other" Carolina ) did a test using
subjects on air at 40 feet in a chamber. They played chess against
subjects outside of the chamber. Guess who won evey game regardless of
who was on the inside and who was on the outside?

The people on the outside.

There is no mystery, nitrogen is narcotic. Extemely narcotic.
