I am amazed that these commercial divers have physiologically "adapted and adjusted" to lethal depth/time dive profiles that we learn are deadly in dive class..
However, w/ that said, they still pay the piper eventually. Some sooner, some later in bone diseases .
The trade and hobby has an unsuitable species list to protect it from buying a coral feeder. A list of unsafe fishes to protect the diver is not hard to generate.
For Americans w/ mixed gas diving experience, rest assured, that is never in the equation for these guys.
American deep diving professionals Richard Pyle and Chip Boyle [ Cook Islands ] are capable of it and very few others.
