Thanks Doc, that's what I thought.
Liquid, based on some of my readings, it isn't uncommon for convulsions to occur virtually without warning, which can in turn result in imminent drowning and death. I've read reports where CCR guys have had this happen in very shallow depths (less than 30') and died. I sure as heck wouldn't want it to happen to me at 160'+ -- good buddy or not.
Now, I'm a risk taker -- more so than most -- but super high PPO2 diving isn't worth it to me, especially when there's a much safer alternatives (trimix, various deco procedures, etc.). I would personnally rate that activity as much more dangerous than deep air. Liquid, I really believe you're playing with fire by doing that type of diving, and if 'ole Murphy rears his ugly side you may find out the hard way.
Take care.
Mike
