    Owning a Doppler

    We were involved in a study 2 years ago looking at dopplerable bubbling, using different profiles. But that was only in folks that we'd already decided to treat (with hyperbarics). I'm not aware of anyone using this to risk stratify patients with bends. The only uses I'm aware of are in...

    Steel 72

    I have a pair of doubled 72's. In terms of air and redundency they're hard to beat. Fully redundent. Not much heavier than an 80. Much more neg bouyant. but not the overkill of my double 119's for a regular rec dive. babar

    Pure oxygen not good for you!?!

    Nitrox and Sudafed

    Anecdotal refers to the fact that some episodes of hyperoxic seaizures have been reported in association with pseudophed use. However no controlled studies have been done to determine wether people who take pseudoephedrine seize earlier or at lower PO2's. Dr. Brain states that in the article...
