In France the limit for air diving is 60m at this depth the NDL is 0. (the depth limit is fixed by the PpO2 (it must be between 0.16 and 1.6 bar)).
I thought the threshold for a Hypoxic mixture was 0.18 ?

I seem to have seen a study some where that suggested that those who were taught they will suffer an effect at some specific point claimed they were affected, those not so trained did not claim to be affected. Mind over matter.
my statement was from memory, I just checked the "code du sport" the Law state that the PpO2 must be between 0,16 bar and 1,6 bar.I thought the threshold for a Hypoxic mixture was 0.18 ?
It's more like when your brain is screwed up, it's bad at self-diagnosing.
My old boss would get drunk to the point that he had no idea what planet he was on, but would swear he was fine, and drive home.
The next day he would brag about how alcohol didn't effect him.
flots.
PS. this was 30+ years ago. He doesn't drink or drive anymore.

Really not an a comparison. If you take a group people and convince (train) them that there is a gas in a room that will make them dizzy but there really isn't any gas and then asked how many got dizzy when they were in the room you will probably find some who swill say they got dizzy.

That federation marks the 60m with air as the recreational limit or, does that 60m enter in the Technical part in your federation.
I have great respect for CMAS they are trully a SCHOOL, but as it is, it requires dedicated time, that not every one have, I see CMAS as the top of others, when you graduate you really are a Diver.

in France diving (in structure or club) is very regulated, the 60m limit is for air (it's stated by the law) if you want to diver below who must use other gas.That federation marks the 60m with air as the recreational limit or, does that 60m enter in the Technical part in your federation.
as said by chrisch, CMAS is not a school but a group of national federation (a federation by country), CMAS try to set standard between federation to make easier for diver to dive abroad (and other think like championship ...).I have great respect for CMAS they are trully a SCHOOL, but as it is, it requires dedicated time, that not every one have, I see CMAS as the top of others, when you graduate you really are a Diver.
