I was under the impression that the oxygen in air becomes toxic after 50m .... what happened to that? Do the laws of physics work differently in the Philippines?

There is speculation that the nitrogen component in deep air mix "buffers" the oxidative & toxic CNS effects of high ppO2 exposure at depth. . .I was under the impression that the oxygen in air becomes toxic after 50m .... what happened to that?

...+1Realistically if you're doing that sort of diving and want a sensible bottom time then its CCR territory otherwise the gas cost and quantities get ridiculous.

Although I have been far to deep on air back (72 meters) in the days nowadays I consider it a bad example to others..
There are plenty plenty of examples of very experienced divers having serious issues underwater at these depths on air..it would be arrogant to say that either one of us are immune to this..
Becoming a better diver, better skills, knowing more will eventually lead to NOT diving deep on air.
It is a process...becoming a mature diver!
I must admit that deep down inside...I would like to have tried a 100 meters on air..
