inwater recompression....hmmm
i thought that is a no-no

BYgolly has been reading up on this topic, apparently the pearl divers in the Torres Strait did it all the time. He will have to log on to give more details though

It is still a no no for us I think

Helloooooo - Guess I am on here by myself again.

Its that darned time change - when everyone else is on I am gettting my beauty sleep As for those who lamented their inability to sleep..........too much coffee will do it Me. I stop all caffeinated drinks including tea at about 7 pm and as for coffee, its none after noon...sleeping is rarely an issue with me and never an isue for Bygolly

Bye for now..........

Plenty of interesting articles about it, but still a little controversial. Most seem to agree that if a diver with DCS is more than 30 minutes from a hyperbaric facility then IWR should be commenced.

Knowing him... it may he is going to explain why it is a No No and in what desperate circumstances it might be appropriate

Let me tell you Tigrr that Fish and Tunia are amazing hosts. The dive site was perfect and for my first ocean dive ever they spoiled me with seahorses, the pesky blue grouper who wants to look at everything that is pointed out, and weedy seadragons to name a few. Also Nudibrancs and a glimpse of an octopus. It was fantastic

Something which bygolly and I will have to repeat!!!

Aww shucks.... thanks and Oh PLEASE PLEASE come and let us do it again.... :kiss2:

I suspect it is an issue of if there is absolutely no other option there may be a time in a remote location etc.... why I would have loved to hear it

He was in charge of Hyperbaric Medication in the NZ Navy... astounding fellow and a commited diver. He is the one who said He understands some Doctor's reluctance to clear people for diving for any medical problem but he has trouble denying someone access to the sport he enjoys so much unless there is a good reason for doing so. He said some are so afraid of people comming at them with law suits that they find it easier just to say no! He is into informed decisions. I really liked his attitude and approach. Very knowledgable and commited to medicine AND the sport of Diving!

interesting do you have any links on that? I would think that if you are remote enough it would be better to attempt that than nothing .... as long as you can keep tanks going to them and get the advice of an expert on the radio..... goes back to something is better than nothing... and how long will available oxygen last?

I am cutting back on Caffiene too A ..... sad having to give up all the bad habits... I didn't drink coffee for 20 years... then the Ambulance service..... well the service runs on the stuff... sometimes we were trying to figure out IV admin of it
