How about a facial trim? Just get rid of those white ends, will you! :-) Keep it neat and fresh! It's supposed to sting and tickle, but please get rid of those awful discolored ends that make you look like a hundred! Go and TRIM!

Myopia, SWO. A phobia is a fear...
Here's a good word for you when describing these stupid balloons... Hyperbollock chambers !

its all about partial pressures try altitude diving, that fucks it all up

Ever hear of oxygen bars? Where people go and purchase oxygen.
Last time I checked there was plenty of free oxygen outside.

Well! I have just the thing! It is called the cold-away bracelet. It actually uses dynamically coupled atomic rings to create negative ion boundaries which attract and collect positive charged neutrons which are known to fight colds in jelly fish larvae. I can send you one for only $250. Don't be fooled by imitations which are only copper rings! This is the REAL Cold_Away. Send cash to:

@kalamain breathing high oxygen content air helps to vent out nitrogen faster, medications like aspirin helps diffusion of nitrogen -not much but enough to warrant an intake if you get symptoms. The main advantage of the hyperbaric chamber for divers i need is that you instantly reduce the nitrogens volume so atleast the pain subsides, but what damage done to tissue will have to heal on it's own. Combined with high oxy environmet reduces time needed to cure/vent out excess nitrogen.

@kalamain Exactly. The nitrogen is transported through the lungs into the blood stream and then round-about entire body. Then it's collected by muscles, skin, tendons, cartilage and bones. All these collects hyper pressured nitrogen at a different rate proportional to their density. The blood and muscles are vented quickly -it's the tough part of the body that doesn't give off nitrogen that easy and those are the pain makers in bends. Itchy and prickling skin is the mildest symptons.

@Paxmax I had a touch of this at around 110 feet once. I was drift diving off paradise reef in Cozumel and my wife noticed that I was drifting out beyond the reef into deeper water with by arms and legs out like I was some kind of angel. I credit her and the dive master with saving me on that one. Still - it was cool as hell.
God I love you Snow Walker (Not sexually).

@Slagtheangry My girl will be happy to hear that. :))

The % of oxygen doesn't decrease with altitude, to about 70,000 ft, it's the pressure that decreases. That means that there are fewer O2 molecules in every breath for your body to absorb. Also it is atmospheric pressure that inflates your lungs so with lower pressure it is harder to take in a breath.
Being in a pressurized Oxygen environment reminds me of the Apollo 1 capsule that burned to death some astronauts, very dangerous stuff even for people who know what they are doing.

@traog I stand corrected. You are right, the percentage would be in the same ratio to N2 no matter what elevation, but there is only 33% of the O2 at 29,000 ft that you would normally get at sea level.

Hehe, I and a couple of other scubadivers tried a hyperbaric chamber, but we ran with just ordinary air. We had a great time, went to +5.0 atmopheres. Upon passing +4.0atm pretty much everyone got visibly nitogen intoxicated... and then because of the thicker density of the compressed air everyone got high pitched chipmunk voices adding to the amusement! we had a great time, laughing and testing diving equipment while we where collecting nitrogen for a mild decompression sickness test.

@Paxmax That sounds like an interesting trip. I would love to get into a chamber and experience 5 atm. Damn that sounds cool. And it would make for a really cool video.
