Time of exposure is certainly of essence here but there are physiological
forces at  play here too. For instance you may very well be able to do that
218fsw dive for 60 or 90 or more minutes and never experience any toxicity
problems, while I might tox in a matter of seconds of reaching that
particular PO2.
