Re: Going Deep on Air

nothing is impossible but maybe bear in mind that Navy divers often have helicopters ready to scramble and possibly a chamber on board a boat or nearby.
Easier to push the limits if you had all that beside you if not ?

Re: Going Deep on Air

Commercial divers when they go past a certain depth are required to have chambers on site. The Navy divers probally have chambers on site too. I would guess that after their dive they go right into the chamber and do more deco.
Think about your mental state with air that deep. If you can have problems just breathing when you have been doing it your whole life. How about when a real problem happens. It won't be second nature, you may not be able to deal with the problem.
Why not do some shoter dives and take some easy math problems down with you and do them at the bottom then look at your answers at the surface. This may open your eyes.
