Re: Argentine Armed Forces

Threads merged.

Sorry Miragedriver I cannot justify a thread for a military as small as Argentina when I merged the Philippine Armed Forces theread with this World military thread. We at SDF have to be wise in the use of our bandwidth.

Hey Popeye, do these divers go inside the decompression chambers when they head back up to the surface?

I don't know for sure. But that decompression is used for only diver returning from the deepest dive.

Also when divers return to the surface they return to the surface in stages so as not to suffer the effects of the bends..
