I was wondering if you clearly feel a difference when you dive in altitude, water way above the sea level that is. If anyone has ever done this, i'd realy be interested in knowing what you felt!

Great article! In my mind, yet another good reason to carry a dive computer and play it on the safe side and end the dives a bit earlier than normal.

i didn't know all this at all.
Actualy i don't think that i had ever ask myself the question, what could be the differences in diving in altitude that is.

Hahahah, i guess i just got wrong then, when i saw the 'diving in altitude' I thought that it had something to do about sky diving out a plane...but come to think of it it wouldn't of had any real sens in this forum right?

"How do you feel?" No different. Do you "feel" any different when you're diviving at 15ft, 30ft, 60ft or 100ft? No. If you did feel a difference you wouldn't need a depth guage! Gas physics is different. There is a difference which can be managed.

i've only ever dived in the sea and it's all i realy plan to do for a long time so i guess i'm not realy concerned bu altitude, but it seems obvious taht it must have some effect on you. You must feel a difference
