Question Pill 'could prevent the bends'

greetings nutters of all types,

i have read in yesterdays newspaper about a magic little pill that scientists are trying to come up with so that we wont have to do deco stops, basically from the article reads that the pill will break up and disperse the nitrogen from the blood so that the diver will never get the bends or narcs.

being still new but is this not a wee bit strange as i think that joe bloggs off the street will go buy some diving gear take the pill and hey ho instant diver just add water....am i being over cautious as we all know people who have bought kit and decided that they are divers because of this kit that they have ,if that is the case i can see standards dropping and more accidents goin up,

rant over but does anybody else think this is a bad idea
