"...Another negative characteristic of helium is its high thermal conductivity which can cause rapid loss of body and
respiratory heat."
...hmmmmm...i wonder what that means for those
wetsuit divers who dive in the rec depths...does
this mean it may not be such a good idea to use
helium for multiple dives in the same day due
to potential/apparent body heat loss which may
then potentially contribute to dcs...?...does
'dan' have anything to say about the use of
alternative gasses...?...
just curious.
