Thank you guys for your insight and thoughts. It's exciting to hear this has been thought of before. It would be great if this turned out to be the next generation of accelerated decompression. I hope someone with the proper resources will take the ball, run with the idea, and turn it into...

Thanks for your input Doc. Now I need to find a good dive testing facility to convince to test this theory, lol. Wish me luck.

Thanks. It gave me a direction to look. I was thinking about this as I learned about decompresson and offgasing and now I see a possibility to create longer, safer dive profiles. As far as the constriction during bottom time and dilation in deco, or vice versa, I was thinking about the...

The idea was wrought from my past experience as a competitive powerlifter where they use an over the counter powdered drink containing a the vasodilator nitric oxide. I was also wondering about it's precursor, L-Arginine. These are the only ones I am aware of. My train of thought was that the...

My concern would be that developing dead air spaces and other pressure affected tissues could be compromised under the additional pressures thereby leading to deformities and god knows what other complications should conditions be "just right" for such issues to arise. Just because many women...

No doctors have any input on this subject? Is anyone aware of any studies done on this subject?

She can freedive vicariously throught his Maria Teresa girl then if she wants to do something. She likes to dream about flying and such so maybe she can dream about freediving and scuba diving until we have the baby.

Thanks for the responses. I've flatly stated she will be doing no free diving while pregnant before I posted this question but told her I would ask a doctor about it. You see, she's an addict. She's addicted to compressed air at depth. I think the withdrawals she's experiencing is clouding her...

Does anyone know how vasodialators and vasoconstrictors would affect decompression?

I know pregnant women shouldn't dive due to pressure issues and the baby but what about freediving? Is there a depth that is safe for a pregnant women to freedive to or is even 2 ATAs too much?

You could've at least made your nonsensical post entertaining.

Yep. This is why I made these statements, "In my own opinion, mother nature has proven to me that extermination on the mesoamerican reef is impossible, management is the only way we can keep the reef from being completely overrun." and "...so I tend to target the largest lionfish first, if...

I think another way to help manage the issue is to look at other highly adaptable invasive species with high reproduction rates from around the world, ie wild hogs specifically, but also asian carp, zebra mussels, kudzu, hydrilla, and the rest, as well as the methods used to control them, both...

Thanks Herb. Any others out there that are cheaper than $250?

Are there any affordable housings out there for a Tough 8000 other than the Ikelite? All I can seem to find on the internet is the Ikelite and cheap bags that don't go as deep as the camera itself.

Try these guys. This link is to their Florida store locator: Battery Stores in Florida - Batteries Plus The replacement batteries they sell usually suck. All 3 aftermarket batteries I bought lasted about 3 months apiece. The only battery that's worth a crap is the original manufacturer battery...

PM sent. Thank you!

Thank you, Lynn. I'll be giving you guys a call after Christmas as I have 2 teenage daughters to take care of for Christmas. My Christmas is always late, lol.

I was wondering if there were any wet suits out there that have a zipper in the front for dudes to pee out of? I've looked around on the internet and haven't found exactly what I'm looking for. What I have seen are models where the zipper comes down to about belt height, which doesn't seem...

Yeah, it was kind of just food for thought. Seeing nothing in the story that specifically ruled SWB out, I brought up the possibility since nobody mentioned it yet. Maybe you're aware of something that ruled out SWB? If so, please share, I'm still learning.
