So if we believe in the addaptation theory, Bennet's rats might have addapted during their first dive and shown false 'improvements' on subsequent dives with asprin. Hard to argue that without looking at his experiment, which he didn't write up in the paper.

Although numerous mech could be envisaged, it is hard to propose one that would show such a large delay. Also, taking a day off following acclimatization would/does have the effect of abolishing acclimatization. Is indeed the post hiatus dives as 'narcosis' free as the pre-hiatus ones? Also, fatigue being intimately linked with IGN, is that an explanation for the putative de-acclimatization or resensitization. Comments appreciated Regards Esat ---- End Forwarded Message
