	I havent the time yet to read some of the deep diving books that are
	out nowadays but maybe some of you can give me a respectable answer.
	Ive allways wondered what the effect of body weight, percentage of
	body fat and even how well conditioned your lungs are (cardiovascular
	condition) has on the effect of Nitrogen absorbtion at depth along
	with how quickly you off gas during decompression. Example:
	I am 145lbs with a less than 9% body fat and in good cardiovacular
	condition (from exercise of course). Could I assume that because
	of my lower weight and less body fat I would saturate my tissues at
	a quicker rate than someone who is 195lbs? Would I be more prone to
	narcosis at shallower depths than someone of a larger builder?
	Ive been to 135' once and Ill will be there again next weekend. At
	135' I was narced. Definitly functioning and in control but narced.
	I know also that narcosis is something that you have to just get used 
	when you dive deeper. So that comes with experience. My thoughts may
	be completely off base but thats why Im asking.

	Thanks.
