- I have noticed in pressure chamber at 50 m (164ft) that breathing is
- heavier than in 1 AT pressure. However, I haven't noticed this during
- my dives to 50-60 m region. Maybe this is due to additional stress and
- poor judgement becouse of narcosis in water diving, compared
- to just sitting in the chamber in air. But certainly under exertion
- this may cause troubles for someone with latent respiratory organ di-
- sease or trouble.
