A friend of mine does work like this at the University of Buffalo in New
York. I never really got the details from him but remember him talking
about being able to test someone and make a personalized dive chart for
them. At this time I didn't know much about dive physiology so I wouldn't
have really understood what he was talking about anyway. I'll probably
see him again this summer and I'll post any interesting info I get.
