Sigh, hot tubs after diving are not to be

Once when I was a newish California diver I had a moment of DCS scare driving home from the dive with my hands tingling for a long time... but they were just warming up from the numbing cold!

ISAGN for hot tub tables: table #4 to list SIs required for target hot tub water temperatures. And a hot tub plan mode in the computers.

Until then I guess I'll have to keep wrapping myself in all available blankets in the 85+ F nights...

Hmm hot tub diving could be a PADI specialty... no scuba required, more of a “skin diving” cert.

Don't they "be cold at the bottom and warm at deco stop"? There's always a flip side: if you come up with too much gas loading, post-dive hot tub may push you into DCS. However if you don't, if will accelerate off-gassing and shorten your SI.

It shouldn't be too hard to add an ambient temperature fudge coefficient to Shreiner equation to calculate in-tub off-gassing. The tricky part is getting the coefficient right.

Fudge in the hot tub.... that could be truly decadent, can I have rose petals too?

I have a suspicion they clog the filters though. You might have to tip the pool boy generously.
