i read a while ago an article (sadly can't find it )about commercial divers using pure 100% O2 to speed up their no fly time. now i'm wondering if there is a formula for this or a way to calculate how much benefit time on O2 give's. for example if i did a dive to 30 mt for 20min, and then spent...

question 1: if i were to breath 100% o2 on the surface would i reduce my chances on a black out. question 2: if i dived down to 40 meters after having breathing 100% o2 on the surface could i suffer oxygen toxicity. as i swim down my body would use o2 and reduce the % in my lungs.
