Hello
You never think it could jhappen to you bet then it finally hits you; the bends.
i had them a few days ago. Skin itching, fatigue and pain in joints and limbs. I contacted DAN and they helped me through it. Since I am a 2,5 charterflight away from the nearest recompression chamber and hyperbaric doctor, they helped me through phone calls and e-mails. In total I was breathing 5 hrs of O2 in 2 days.
The symptoms are gone now but DAN does not want to give me their agreement that I can dive again before I see a hyperbaric doctor, which out of their point of view and their situation I can understand.
However, the 1st charterflight is in 3 days. And then I am stuck in Bali (indonesia) for 11 days before I can take the next return flight back to where I live, a lot of hassle.
My own safety and health will always be on the first place but do you think DAN is over conservative to cover themself?
How long do I have to wait before I can go diving again?
Should I go to the hyperbaric doctor?
Any advice is wellcome!
Thanks
