I love diving and I want to make sure I am doing this safely with the least impact/recovery and would love to hear from you. While I don’t think I’ve ever had more than subclinical DCI, I seem to suffer the effects of diving more than my buddies. Exhaustion, headaches, aches, nausea, the not all...

Hi all, I am new to this forum and also new to the diving world as I recently got my open water certification (November 2018). Yesterday, I went for my first (and second) dive after my certification and realised an important issue: First dive- buddy and I forgotten to deflate BCD when ascending...

Guy was the huge fun of diving, but an accident blocked him out of water and he can't jump into the water anymore. 12 years later, a new technology gives him opportunity to dive again with his buddy. Accident happens and the DCS is NOT just stories. We need to pay more attention and help...

Hi! I’m relatively new to diving and I’m not sure if I should be panicking or if I’m being paranoid. I did a dive on Saturday to 17m. We started to do a safety stop but I had an issue with my drysuit where the legs inflated, pushing my fins off and pulling me upwards. My buddy and the DM...

I had a girlfriend who happened to be a doctor who would research diving accidents when we would go on holiday. She did this to (presumably) scare me out of diving so I would spend more time with her. :cuddles: She brought up PFO based on a number of incidents she research and I learned how...

What are your thoughts on in water recompression? At TEKDiveUSA.2018 David Doolette will be presenting the process and evidence behind a committee of diving medicine experts who recently revised guidelines for the prehospital management of decompression illness. This committee reached a...

Trying to learn something. Indulge me: In this example: If all else is the same, same sex, same age, same health, same percentage of body fat, same height, same weight, same ethnicity, same level of hydration, same fitness level, same lung volume, same muscle mass, same distribution thereoff...

Hello, I have been experiencing something rather unusual: I am a novice diver, and I flew home 30 hours after my Open water certification exam dives (x2 dives at 18m for 45mn and 60mn, with appropriate safety stops and interval surface time), and felt whilst on the plane mild tingling in both...

Hello everyone, This post more than asking a question or providing an answer to the subject topic, is a pause of reflection upon the issue and maybe provide an initiating seed for some useful discussion. We usually hear saying plan your dive and dive your plan and in Tech diving to plan we do...

Hi guys, Apologies for bothering you with this. Four days ago I did a completely normal nitrox (36%) dive to 25m, the first of a liveaboard weekend and my first dive in 6 months. Safety stop observed, nothing strange or risky occurred. On the surface I began compulsively yawning and felt waves...

I already have one full layover day before flying planned into my next dive trip so please don't bother hassling me about safety — as some are wont to do. I am planning on doing an EAN certification sometime in the future. I've read only a bit about it so far. I find it interesting that a major...

Hi Board Members, I'm hoping for insight from some someone that has experienced DCS 2 and subsequent nerve damage or understands dive medicine/neurology. I am experiencing a number of "neurological complications" with many examples listed in this article (Request Rejected) ~two weeks after a...

I wrote about this in some other thread but it was lost among other comments and I really need an advice. Here is my problem: I enjoy diving and not worried about our murky waters at all, but every time after a dive, even a pool one, I am freaking out about getting DCS, look for the symptoms...
