Hi
I've been doing hyperbaric oxygen therapy (hbot). If you're familiar with this I have a couple questions. HBOT is basically a person breathing 100% oxygen at 1.5-2 ATA for about an hour. So if a diver were to have a tank full of 100% oxygen and went diving at about 60 feet in salt water (this is about the same ATA), and if you dived for an hour at that depth, would there be any dangers? why? wouldn't it be the same as being in a pressurized capsule, except the capsule is the water?
Thanks all!!
