Real men bounce to at least 300'.

There's nothing wrong with a bounce profile even though it gets a lot of comments on Scubaboard. Multiple bounces is another matter. It is possible to bounce (for whatever reason) and still continue to have a long (shallow) dive before getting out of the water.
The reason for the bounce is not particularly important although certain groups commonly respond to the contrary (with virtually identical wording).

No the discussion was started as a fellow diver asked me what would be the issue with a bounce dive to 220?
I have had many deep dives and he was asking the possible dangers, I wanted to advise him that it isnt the Partial Pressure that is the danger (at least not at 1.6) it is the narcosis and to attempt anything you are not trained for is risky at best.
I said along with training you must be in good shape as physiology is a great factor in many things on a dive.
Also adipose cells can harbor more micro-bubbles and being overweight doesnt help.
Not that overweight divers shouldnt dive so dont get offensive if you are over weight, it is a fact cardio is a major factor in any activity.
Also the more efficient the cardio vascular system the more efficient off gassing.
Anyways my thoughts were on narcosis and getting in shape will increase your capabilities should the need arise.

PADI AOW has a depth limit of 100', not 130'. 130' requires the additional couse of deep diver.
Ask these new AOW divers if they are organ donors, if you feel they are likely to go on such a foolish endevour.

True, although I'd spell it repeat.
Actually, I was thinking of spear fisherman bouncing up and down for fish on the same dive.
