Does the fact that "one atmosphere" suits and subs exist mean that we
should all be using them? If expense and availability are not an issue
then we really shouldn't be diving without one. Of course, it isn't
reasonable that we all have one so this argument is silly. But it may
also be unreasonable to obtain the safest technology at a given dive
site. As with nearly everything, it's all a matter measuring and
accepting risk.
