I dive in Monterey, where conditions are often quite rough. I haven't progressed to the point of using O2 yet, but before I do, I'd like to get a few things clear...such as what to do when it's turned ugly and maintaining a certain depth is tricky. It seems that the risk of O2 toxicity is quite high when breathing 100%.
