Andy,
Ask me nicely... veeeeery nicely
I tried to attach it here, but this site won't let me. The interesting bit is in the conclusion with says "these results suggest that the elevation in RBC aggregability is due to hydrostatic rather than to gas pressure, but this remains to be confirmed"
basically, they found that clumping would occur dramatically in the 66ft compression range and significantly less so in the 300ft range. They also played around with gas fractional composition, which was found to have minimal impact.
Theres a whole lot of interesting references.... Im working on collating this stuff on a website, I'll try and get it up soon. (ooer!)
Having said that, I tend to agree... air is baaaad, its only saving grace is price/simplicity. I havent dived air in years.
