dcs risk

Hey everyone, I did a search around and couldn’t find any information about this. Looking at the DAN website it says: Does going in a bi-plane for 15 minutes with a max cruising altitude of 2500-3000ft without a pressurized cabin increase or decrease my chances for DCS? I’ll be doing...

I just watched the great presentation of David Doolette at RB4 on alternative decompression strategies (Advances In Decompression Theory And Practice). He shows a Navy algorithm that provides decompression schedules that are iso-risk. Interestingly they are similar to GF 50/85 for shallower...

Suppose you surfaced quickly from 30 meters (100 ft). Like some malfunction, out of air situation or something like that. What's the best thing to do next? Go directly to the chamber just in case? Or maybe it is better to go back underwater first to minimize DCS risk if it is still possible...
