Anyone heard of it? Sounds like a fascinating avenue of research.
Basically it is the use of specially engineered bacteria introduced into your gastrointestinal tract that work to munch up any and all nitrogen (or other diving gases) in your bloodstream. Apparently the US Navy are researching it.
Sounds BONKERS eh? I found a paper on it: http://archive.rubicon-foundation.org/xmlui/bitstream/handle/123456789/2421/11908695.pdf?sequence=1
What are your thoughts? Could this future technology make diving safer? Just take a pill before diving to lengthen NDL's?
