Lets see, that a pPO2 isn't an absolute number, why time component is also critical, and that you are responsible for determining your own safety factors when calculating your pPO2/MOD, and why blindly picking a "safe" number like 1.4 may not be safe at all based on a number of extenuating factors including total time at depth. The reasons why CNS is critical for rec divers, while whole body turns out to be more of a problem for RB divers and divers with long deco obligations. How their buhlmann tables are built and why they are interrelated. Basically, I learned to process information and think for myself.Charlie99:While I've only glanced at the IANTD Nitrox book, it didn't seem to have anything not covered by PADI.
