Asthmatics dive.  Saturation divers exhibit airway deteriation.  One
pulmonologist who woks at a hyperbaric chamber suggested an ascent rate of 10
feet a minute for the last 40 feet of a dive was a good idea if an asthmatic
was going to dive.  How come asthmatics don"t embolise more often?  Any
thoughts on other ways to minimize the additional risk?  Another suggestion
was to off gas on O2 where allowable.
