After being around a few DCS incidents I can agree that if it is a hit beyond skin bends you will most definitely know.
Im 120% more conservative on everything I do as far as dive plans, gradient factors, deco schedules, etc.
I assure when you tend a bent buddy for 4 hrs till they get on the chopper you will never dive the same again!
The best way to prevent being bent is STAY HYDRATED!
Never get in a hurry, by all means slow ascents, run numerous plans to be able to bail out on a schedule as well as a computer.
NEVER EVER THINK THAT EVEN THOUGH YOU FOLLOW THE RULES........YOU CAN GET BENT ON ANY GIVEN DIVE!
The deco models can't always adjust for our physiological swings of OUR bodies!
We truly are all different and day to day, dive to dive it changes.
I am going to be brutally honest if you have any doubt you could have a PFO, get it checked!
If you have a PFO get it fixed before you dive anymore!
Know that even when it is fixed there are no guarantees you will not get bent!
This is critical and very serious.
