Subject: Oxygen diving
  I have been off Techdiver a while because of pressure of other email. What
has been happening while I was away? How long has the current bout of flaming
etc being going on?
  What is the stage of finding a medication to stop oxygen poisoning at depth?
It seems to me that for many diving uses the many complications of narcosis
versus bends risk versus etc might be avoided, <and> divers could use much
lighter and simpler breathing sets, if they could could use plain oxygen
rebreathers plus a medication that would reliably prevent depth oxygen
poisoning up to say 5 or 6 or 7 bars ppO2.

  Some time in the future?:-
  "This is Scooby-Doo going down." (CB-radio-ese for `stopping transmitting')
a scuba diver said into his car's CB radio nearish to but supposedly a safe
distance from an inshore shellfish fishing village which alleged that sport
scuba divers take shellfish.
  "This is Scooby-Doo going down." he thought as he walked down a steep cliff
path to the sea out of sight of local people.
  "This is Scooby-Doo going down." he thought as he swam down to the seabed to
take whatever shellfish he wanted.
  "This is Scooby-Doo going down." the fishing village's onboard-destructor-
equipped submersible dredger recorded in its log as underwater out of sight it
stopped him with a powerful ultrasound beam and pumped him into its dredgings
tank like all the other rubbish that got into the sea in its area.
