Please note that the example given is not realistic.
Diving to 60m on 40% N2 (i.e. 60% O2) would result in a ppO2 of 4.2. This is way beyond recommended concentrations (1.2 to 1.6) and would almost certainly result in a CNS fit within 90 seconds, followed by fatal drowning.

It seems you assumed that the dive would be on Nitrox, but diving on a gas mix with 40% N2 is perfectly realistic when using trimix. Mark.murphy 19:21, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
