Well, it's been awhile, John, and I can hardly remember things that happened
last week, much less things that happened in the 70s. However, I do not
recall anything odd happening to my body during the ascent to 25000 but do
recall my lips doing the blub-blub-blub thing during the decompression. As
the pressure in the chamber rapidly increased, it kinda pushed the trapped
gas out.

I think what Kiwi meant was that you do the "burp & fart" going from SL to
250, when the pressure outside the body is decreasing, as opposed to from
250 to SL, as you posited, when the external pressure would be

*increasing*
rapidly.

In the pressure chamber,
from 25000 to sea level is instantaneous and you do a sustained
burp-and-fart.

Other way around Bob. (sea level to 25,000)



No way. You start off at sea level,
