'aint a tech god, but I concur this is a stupid thing to do. Best way to do so is in a chamber dive. Loads of fun, too. And no hangover. Plus, you *KNOW* the feeling afterwards. My experience is that if I did not get the chamber dive, I would not have noticed that I was narced when I did my only 40m dive. Dunno how to fix one? Fly up to Montr=E9al's get-wet SCUBA show, this weekend (nov 3-5), there are chamber rides for $20. ---------------------------------------------------------------- No .sig, account the blues. ------ Marc Dufour -- [\] -- http://www.cam.org/~mdufour ------- OUIouiOUIouiOUIouiOUIouiOUIouiOUIouiOUIouiOUIouiOUIouiOUIouiOUI
