Subject: Trimix is Healthier than air
To: techdiver <techdiver@terra.net>
	
	I was recently informed that Trimix may be beneficial for use at 
shallow depths (e.g. 150ft.).  As I understand it, Helium does not cause 
the red blood cells to become as rigid as nitrogen does under pressure.  
This prevents damage to the micro capillaries when helium replaces 
nitrogen as the inert gas.  Are there other benefits (or problems?) with 
helium use?

	Would anyone care to comment on this?

Thanks in advance,
Pete
