Hi all...

While we are on the subject of nitrox etc etc...

Whats the scoop on "evidence" that the lower nitrogen loading of nitrox (or for
that matter trimix) reduces "micro damage" (my words for lack of better ones)
and therefore fatique?

I do know that a fair number of dives I've done....none being particularly deep
or close to the NDL found me at the end of the day WIPED OUT....and some of
these were the most low stress, low exertion dives you could have.....like
drive right up to the dock....carry your junk 50 feet to boat....nice smooth
ride out....fall overboard and drift around for awhile...go up (and I always GO
really slow AND throw in a few safety stops)...go to next site...repeat....then
come home....and at the time I was in darn good shape to boot.....so for me it
seems pretty clear that the nitrogen was doing SOMETHING to me!

take care

Blll
