Matthias, I think you mean physical rather than fizzical and usually I would never point such an error out, especially since English is not your first language and you write it very well. The unintended pun, however, is simply irresistible. :-) Whilst I don't want to get into a debate in which I have precious little to no knowledge, are these gases which get warmer as they expand pertinent to diving? After all, you didn't mention what they are. If not, should we worry about them in a discussion such as this?
