Let's not forget the problems with nitrogen poisoning (which
was a prime impetus for divers trying different mixtures in
their tanks). They still haven't found a way around it,
regardless of the mixture. At sufficient depths, the
nitrogen we retain in our bodies "comes out" and becomes
gaseous in the blood. So there are still problems with
nitrogen bubble embolisms and with the detrimental affects
of the bends.
Just another wrench in the works.
