If I dive this week to 45 ft (15m) for 1 hour at fixed 0.7 PO2, then exactly the same dive next week but at 1.4 PO2 (assume I spend very little time ascending or descending), how will my gas consumption of O2 and air/dil compare? In other words, will my body absorb more O2 and/or more dil during either of these 2 dives? Will I have to add or release any more O2 and/or dil during either of these 2 dives? Please explain your answer.
