Hi people,
I have heard some stories of some rather gruesome ends for a few divers that all seem to be fundimentally the same kind of thing (please do not ask me to quote as I was roaming when I found them). They all involved a diver coming from deeper depths like 80m or more very fast for one reason or another. One of the stories I heard was of a military diver during WW2 having to be reeled in from deep very quickly when the ship was engaged by and enemy vessel.
Now here is the physiolgical bit. The description was basically that the divers ended up as 'a mess' inside the suit. I believe from one of the stories said something along the lines of the drysuit stopping the diver from making a mess of the boat. My question is how could this happen? Could it? Is it an extreme amount of gas embolisms forming throughout the body and rupturing the skin (as unlikely as it sounds)?
All answers are welcome,
Thanks in advance,
Matt.
