Don’t get your use of parentheses though, anything you’re trying to “say”?

That sounds quite plausible. Because there’s no chest strap the thing isn’t comfortable underwater unless the shoulder straps are pulled tight, must’ve overdid it. Will keep in mind

What we did was a mix of the Australian (slow ascent rate) and US Navy (9/6/3) tables with 2 airbreaks.

You are right for sure. Just saying my previous rotator cuff pain, the low level of pain at that moment and the clean dive profile threw me a curve ball. If I had any other symptoms I would’ve gone straight to O2. Anyway from now on I’m getting on the O2 ASAP if I feel any discomfort after a...

T Thanks, appreciate the concern Your gear makes me feel we’re under-equipped.. I’m buying the damn FFM on Monday

L Like you said in your first reply, there’s a lot of guesswork in this sport.

Go figure. One would think the thing would come with the most modern settings built in. Thanks for the heads up.

That’s interesting, so you think the deeper stops may have caused the problem?

like I said before I left it on the standard Teric OCTec setting. Lots of debate around deep stops and I didn’t want to do any guesswork.

I hear what you’re saying. What would you recommend?

The hyperbaric chamber Dr/technician has seen the most cases and he won’t do treatment if you don’t have muscle weakness. Genius

Wow that really puts things in perspective.. Your wife is a champion. Around here the most patients any Dr has treated with DCS in their lifetime is 1. We’re on our own.

Very true. But from what I know from monitoring my CNS tolerance on O2 (320% when doing the IWR) and the fact that I’m going to cut down my dive times, I’m not really concerned about O2 exposure. I may be wrong, but the CNS O2 value has never been a reason for me to hurry out of the water or...

I already run a conservative 30/70, most of the divers I know run GFhis at 80+. I already add deco time as you can see from my profile. Just going to do what used to work fine for me for years when I didn’t have the option to switch.

Bearing in mind most of my dives are technical in the sense that they are a bit long, 40-50m deep and I use a deco mix. This does not apply to cave or trimix diving. True that technical divers prefer to know their exact CNS O2%s and tweak the algorithms instead of adding unknown variables, but...

Don’t really see the harm in it. Used to dive that way cause I didn’t have a multi-gas computer anyway. In fact I remember 10 years ago very few divers had the multi-gas and also used to dive that way. I’ve been diving for a long time, first time I have any symptoms is when I used my new multi...

Hasn’t been a week yet. Will let you know.

Very true that DAN will advise you even if you’re not a member, I wasn’t when I called them as they aren’t available here. I am now a member of DAN Europe, even if just for the medical opinion. Was sweating a lot it was a hot day and I generally forget to drink water. Rechecked my mixes with my...

The DAN expert I spoke to told me to wait a week or two and get an MRI as it is the gold standard for identifying the bio-chemical damage left behind by micro bubbles. Apparently no other way to know if tendon muscle or bone was hit. Bone is what can progress to something more serious.

Thanks did not know that
