thanks, not looking to take it for preventing any possible dcs but it is definitely very interesting that the diver you met had this belief. Was he a rec guy or commercial diver?

thanks!

thanks for providing your own experienced taking this medication while diving

very interesting, thanks for sharing!

thanks for the help!

I don't blame them for being afraid after they dedicated their lives to training

very interesting never knew that it had possible psychological effects

oh ok thanks

how does it change the risk factor if you have a PFO? I have never been tested, but your saying that if you have a PFO and take one of these pain relievers after diving, it could lead to DCS?

didn't know that about NSAIDs, thanks for the heads up

no worries about DCS but a good point to take into consideration. Just wanted to make sure there was no danger in taking these two types of medications after a dive for any reason (besides risk of masking DCS). Thanks

Just curious if taking acetaminophen or a Nsaid after diving is safe since the body is still off gassing. I only get a mild headache about one or twice a year but was curious to see if I had a headache, or other pain after a dive it would be okay to take either drug. Thanks for the help

just watched that video, I feel bad for that guy. Those things do look like death traps, but a Very informative video tho and I did subscribe to them I don't think those air-bells are worth the novelty, kinda stupid if you want to talk go get FFM training and you will be all set to talk the...

Thanks for the feedback!

thanks for the help!

that was very well said, and I do agree with you about the difference between the need to know and the questions that go above the basics. The instructor did explain the basics but in retrospect it was in a horrendously rushed time frame so I didn't really have these follow up questions to ask...

That is a good point about the last 5 ft being a big change, do you think it is common practice for other divers to just exhale in those last few ft as well? So say you are at 10ft on a mooring line, you would ascend a foot or two while exhaling then stop and inhale to you made it back to the...

would love to watch the video if you posted it on ScubaBoard, very cool

doctormike, thank you for such a detailed explanation! very interesting stuff If I were to inhale now or breath out and purposely hold my breath I can feel something closing in my throat, you are saying that feeling is actually the vocal cords closing and not the epiglottis?

thanks for sharing, its amazing how much endurance wind instruments take. I played the trumpet in high school, but the killer was trying bag pipes I have never been so dizzy in my life trying to learn but I just didn't stick with it
