Hi, apologies if this question has been asked somewhere already on this forum...
I was recently wreck diving with a buddy of mine, when he ran lower on air I returned him to the boat (after completing a safety stop) & then continued my dive with another buddy. Our dive profile was fairly ordinary, depth 29 meters & bottom time of around 48 minutes, although I think when my buddy surfaced due to running lower on air his bottom time was around 29 minutes. My buddy returned his scuba gear to the boat and then started snorkelling around performing "duck dives"/short breath hold dives. When I returned later on after my dive I noticed this and suggested to him that he should probably avoid doing breath hold descents like he was just in case of any increased DCS risk. I'm not sure if there is any evidence to support this, is there any possibility that breath hold diving following scuba diving could increase risk of DCS?
