- I am still a bit puzzled about the physiological reason against
- sawtooth profiles. I know that they encourage bubble formation, but
- could some enlightened person out there give a clear summary of how
- this occurs.
-
- Also, can somebody explain _why_ nitrogen becomes narcotic at depth ?
- (I am not a biologist/chemist, but like to think I have reasonable
- mental faculties !)

- Thanks
