Hi Doctor,
I'm still in the middle of Divemaster course, and had some question regarding gas toxicity.
1. How CO (Carbon Monoxyde) can be a poison? Is it related to partial pressure?
2. How can be CO2 (Carbon Dioxyde) not forming bubble while Nitrogen does (especially in the hypercapnea condition)? How about the other gas, like Helium?
3. After I dove with EAN 32, I got my Suunto Stinger alert me about the high OLF I had, I unintentionally exceed the maximum depth for EAN 32 (exceed 1.6 a.t.a). Is it true that the OLF is high once you exceed the maximum depth even though only no longer than 1 minute at that depth?
Thanks for the answer.
