			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This new <a href="http://archive.rubicon-foundation.org/7962">paper</a> seems to do a better job at establishing the usefulness of Argon in dry suit inflation for cold water diving than a prior document did.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s worth reading completely but here is the conclusion: &#8220;This investigation has demonstrated that significant improvements in drysuit thermal protection can be achieved when using argon instead of air as a drysuit inflation gas.  It should be noted however that these improvements can only be achieved by carefully and repeatedly purging (a minimum of 6 purge cycles) with pure argon prior to water entry&#8221;</p>
