Just a side note:
For several years, the Rubicon Foundation (Gene Hobbs) has been electronically archiving and making FREELY available THOUSANDS of scientific papers related to diving. This wealth of knowledge is absolutely invaluable!
I heartily recommend this resource to any diver who wants to see the science that backs up dive theories and knowledge. The accident reports, especially, will open one's eyes real fast!
No guilt trip intended, but DONATIONS help make this possible and I know donations are all MUCH appreciated, regardless of the amount!

I've found Rubicon's FREELY available reports regarding thermal strategies to be extremely helpful. (Ice diving doesn't need to be cold at all and that's just the way I like it!
)Please note that I am not affiliated in any way with Rubicon except as an appreciative user of the archives!
