I couldn't help smiling while driving to work this morning listening to The Sweet singing "Love is like oxygen. You get too much you get too high. Not enough and you're gonna die. Love gets you high ..."
I don't remember anything on my Nitrox course about getting (too) high. :D.
Am I missing something?
 
well, I think you get oxygen toxicity when you get too much. LOL
So, the lyrics should be
"You get too much you get too high. (Only while PO2 is under 1.4 ata if you're conservative, and definitely not above 1.6 ata. Extended exposure to PO2 of 0.4 ata or greater can result in the Lorrain Smith Effect)"

I guess all this means that it's safest to "fall in love" within recreational limits to avoid "Love Tox". eh?

"You get too much you get too high. (Only while the partial pressure of oxygen in the particular mix is under 1.4 ata if you're conservative, and definitely not above 1.6 ata)"

Just remember to Plan your Love and Love your Plan and you'll be OK... :D
 
Either way, you're baked.
 
Ahhhhh.... I remember my days of unlimited recreational LoveTox. Luckily, it was before the days of AIDS. This thread could get pretty raunchy; especially if we start discussing diving while LoveToxed.
 
Loving and diving...both can get expensive

Yep, comments from a happily married fellow. :) Like that ever happens.
