Subject: 1.5vs1.4MAX
George,
	As for knowing enough to "help us out", I don't pretend to. My
comment was that Mr Mee's posting criticising IANTD was mis-informed....
	Once something is written, many people accept it as fact. So public
statements of non-fact should be pointed out.
 The example that I used was that of the 1.6ATA max PO2 recommendation.
	As for the question of 1.5 ATA vs 1.4....which is it, I agree, it
seems  ambiguous, as read.
	However, as in the instances you quote (gas switches & O2 deco),
you can see where the higher PO2 is acceptable.
	I thought that a PO2 of 1.5 was the maximum recommended for most
commercial diving, and less than the 2.0ATA used by some military.
	I saw Tom's response to an earlier posting, and yours to his. I 
was disappointed that he has not yet answered.
						Regards, Bernie
