Minimizing DCS damage

[limeyx]

I would say--deco as much as you can, but get to the surface.
I don't know where I read this, but: "We can work with DCS. We can't do anything for 'dead'."--talking about hyperbaric chambers.

well, when you incur mandatory deco, you do have to (somewhat) stop focusing on "surface=safety"

Of course, you cannot breathe water and yes it's definitely better to be bent than drowned.

Always heard it said better to be living in a wheelchair due to blown deco than a pine box due to drowning.

I have seen someone blow as much as 45 min of deco and do just fine,but I've also seem people go over the prescribed deco to be conservative and end up in a chamber for 16 hours total-funny stuff.

agreed. There is no simple answer to this one, and every person(team) has to make up their own mind about it.

Fortunately I have not been in that position yet.
