The Chairman:
Sure. When you do an apnea dive, you breathe in one atmosphere of air. At this point the air is in a semi-rigid container. IOW, it's not as affected by ambient pressures as a regulator would be. When you breathe off of a regulator, you're filling your lungs with air at ambient pressure.

Secondly, how long will you be down? For every two minute dive, you're probably going to have a 10 minute recovery.

Unless you do something to really change these two parameters, your chances of getting the bends from apnea diving is zero, nada and squat in precisely that order.

Sudden and complete hearing loss from freediving. No "pop," no pain but now deaf in one ear for more than a week.

Ocular disturbance after decompression diving, that is now my norm even though I’ve had 15yrs of tech diving, interested to hear from Medics.
