A few days ago I dove long and deep at Cozumel's Punta Sur Cathedral site. I went briefly into the red on my computer, but I did what it told me to do and came up in the green. For our second dive we went to Colombia Shallows (max depth 30 feet), and a little ways into the dive I noticed that one side of the index finger of my right hand was numb. I thought maybe that I had been squeezing the switch on my dive light, but I shifted my grip and the finger stayed numb. It finally "woke up" rather suddenly about 2 hours after I noticed the numbness; by that time I was back at the hotel.
I had no other symptoms, and as it was the last dive of my vacation and I had over 24 hours of "time to fly" time, I didn't worry about it too much. However, since I've always been advised to watch for tingling/numbness as signs of DCS, it did cause me to wonder. I've never had any experience with DCS, either personally or proximally, so I don't know what it feels like.
