Rick, The correlation would be with exchange rates between oxygen/blood and N2/blood. If we see I'm right about high VO2 max bringing more Nitrogen into the diver's blood supply (along with processing more O2), then my intuition would be that tissue loading would occur strictly according to gradient in each tissue type (compartment) as before--- and what I am talking about is a higher gradient.
