When pressure is greater than 1 atm.  At these pressures, oxygen becomes
extremely toxic to the human body, in particularly greater than 2 atm which
is only 33 feet deep.
I was always taught as a diver pure oxygen was toxic, but when I learned
that, they most likely didn't differentiate between low pressures (< 1 atm)
where its
okay and higher pressures (>1 atm) where it starts becoming toxic to the
human body.
