But Mike compared argon use regarding different types of breathing gas. Do temperature losses add arithmetically, or in a logarithmic scale ? according to most known laws or rather rules of perception ( Weber- Fechner's, to name one), bodily reactions to pphysical changes are measured in a decibel scale. Translated to heat-loss terms this would mean, that even if your suit Isolation may be better, the loss by expansion and conductivity of breathing gas outweighs the win . > If the suit floods at all, Argon and thinsulate > combination is still better than regular insulation > dry with no argon. Won't like to try out , but if it's right, is it because of argon bubbles kept within the tissue ? > You also have to flush the air out of the suit prior > to the dive with argon.
