RE: Is Nitrox worth the risk?
I probably should not say this, bUT...yes, that "line" should not be crossed. However, it is a line with 2 variables, your po2, PLUS the amopunt of time spent at that.
Sooo....in an emergency? A brief minute will not cause the symptoms under most cases, in fact, you will feel less narcosis due to the less nitrogen in the mix (maybe? just a thought).
That being said, I am not recomending thinking of that line as a line to be crossed if you see that big fish just a little deeper, ect. I am saying that the effects are not insantaneous, therefore in an emergency,...well...you get it.
Look at the po2 people are under for controlled amounts of time in medical situations.
