H,mmmm. I haven't used a weight belt on my last 16 dives as I have a new BCD with built in weight pockets. Also ,the real bad attack was on the top of my thighs and around my lower back. . Red and itchy with vivid purple areas like bruising. VERY sore. Was gone after about 3 hours but still felt bruised.

My wife gets the skin bends symptoms as described by Heg on our fourth straight day of mulitiple dives. Doesn't matter if we do one dive a day or 3 dives a day, on the afternoon of the fourth consecutive day, about 2-3 hours after we finish diving, she gets the symptoms on her abdomen right after she showers. Has happened on three trips now; one when we dove once a day; one when we dove twice a day; and one when we dove three times a day. Our plan now is to dive two or three days in a row, take a day off, then repeat.
