The capability
to deco at 66 ft. (3 atmos.) with pure O2 in a decompression chamber
is much more desirable. This is typically what you will find in a
hospital. Care has to taken in what materials are used in the building
and preservation of the chamber. For all this trouble, it is easier to
jump back in with a full face mask from a boat as Vance notes. If you
look at deco calcs you will find tat the O2 will accelerate the deco
process plus there is the added benefit of the “oxygen window” that
further speeds deco. If there is an incident, the pure O2 is
more effective in assisting with minimizing secondary injury around the “hit”
from blocked blood flow. R/J2 Respectfully, Jay K. Jeffries Andros Is., It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to
entertain a thought without accepting it. From: Brent, Yup, got it now. I don't know why you'd want a 2
