Rec Triox diving sounds fascinating and promising.

One question though: what is the current status of knowledge on the effect of He to the human organism?

I'm aware of He's properties in changing one's voice if inhaled. I also heard that pure He will kill a person. Is this because of the lack of O or is it something in He?

Are all these issues thoroughly researched or is this all trial and hopefully no error?

PS to JRG: I know kelphead personally and know that it is her sincere concern that made her ask these questions. I think your response went a bit over the top.
