Cozumel Dive Shop?

Not to be picky....but DCS is not mining related problem.....but there may be a few tunneling contractors who use elevated air pressure to reduce water seepage into the opening.

First cases of DCS were from tunnel workers, but some mines also pressurize.

You can get DCS without diving. You can get it from working in mines or flying unpressurized. Apparently astronauts also have to protect against it when they work outside the spaceship.

still a combination of depth/time.

But not diving.

Not a common one, absolutely- but there are mine related issues that -could- get you bent.

Ascent could bring health risks to miners ? The Chart - CNN.com Blogs

It is called Caissons disease. It's from people working underground in pressurized caissons.

Dear Mike,

I can personally swear to the no hot water shower thing. Many years ago my GF and I returned from a VERY aggressive dive. I heard the shower go on and warned her about that. Within 15 seconds of hot water she had a big purple skin bend on her belly. Causation? Correlation? There is definitely some connection.

Yowch! Did you guys report it to DAN, just for recording it in their database?

Will there be a carnaval shenanigan in our future?

There's something that seems kind of sad about a solitary shenanigan.
