On second reading...225 feet is probably too deep for me. That's 95 feet beyond my certification limit, and 140 feet beyond my deepest dive logged thus far. Nitrogen narcosis is a bad, bad deal.

Yup, 225 is 116 feet past my certification level, but they would have been in an emergencey ascent probably from a sustained depth closer to sea level. I don't know, It's been so long since I took my basic and advanced diving classes that don't remember a quarter of it.

I haven't done any diving for decades. I was originally certified in 1962 and don't recall any dive depths connected to the certification. I do remember warnings about dive times, etc after 3 or 4 atmospheres and that was entering the danger area.

I remember that I passed on a wreck dive off Catalina at 132 feet because I haden't been deeper than 80-90 feet yet. Do you guys remember the J-valve? (5 minute reserve @ 32 ft) I think that's the name.
