Deep bounce dive crushes micro bubbles?

[Cave Diver]

You don't need a PFO, if not done right and the bubbles get just a bit bigger this would be a great way to take them from the venous side of the lungs and send them right to the heart and brain on the arterial side.

The old WKPP "Why we don't bounce dive" explanation.

In fairness though, the title of the article is "Why We Do Not Bounce Dive After Diving"

It may not hold the same relevance in the scenario listed.

Informative words from the well vascularized fit one.

From the way I read Wienke, it's a "first dive" scenario AND it only applies to micronuclei having a certain radius. The bubbles that would result in a do-it-yourself PFO are already far larger than the critical radius. Ergo, no benefit (and quite a potential for harm) if you're already fizzing.

"RASPS of 10 minutes of duration prior to decompression to altitude" is so vague to this non scientist that I cannot speculate. Regardless of his lack of charm George Irwine's experience is abundantly clear that ascent rates to surface from the last stop should be very slow. "One foot per minute on their bigger dives". What is conventional wisdom on ascent rates from safety stops from a fairly agressive day's worth of recreational diving? I am glad I passed on bounce diving for my friend's lost speargun soon after surfacing from the last dive this past Sunday after three aggressive profiles....

That was probably a wise choice. I'm pretty sure that I recall reading on spearboard that spearo's seem to have a higher rate of type II (neuro) DCS than the average diver who usually has type I, and that it was attributed to the bounce diving.

You'll get no disagreement from me on bouncing after diving or slow ascents. GI3 has his unique charms. I rolled my eyes and chuckled a bit about his statement that "you should never try what I do because I'm so vascularized and fit" when I first read it ago, but I certainly bow to his experience.

Yeah, regardless what you think about his method of delivery, it's hard to argue with the success and information he brought about in regard to deco theory.
