>> When do people need to get DCS?
When they are too old and too cheap to pay for Nitrox.
the Placebo Effect is a real thing and can result in significantly different perceptions of pain, fatigue, taste, etc.
I felt better at the end of the day on the Nitrox days.
around 100ft at which point trimix should be utilized.

I routinely dived air before I got my CCR - but there were still never a doubt in my mind that the risk of DCS would be smaller if those dives were done on Nitrox instead- like with all other dives. So yes, a disservice, but a very small one. At scale it would however reduce the amount of incidents.You're suggesting that millions of recreational divers are doing themselves some sort of grave disservice because they don't use trimix when diving within recreational limits?

I know a lady who will not dive on Nitrox because she swears it makes her feel ill, which I thought odd as I too feel much better and less fatigued using it, but I guess everyone is a little different....
Now that's interesting. Any idea why this happens?I know a lady diver who can no longer use nitrox.
Yet her physical condition and age, 68, mean that she should be using nitrox.
nitrox irritates her lungs; she coughs when she gets out of the water and feels a burning sensation for hours.
when she uses air, she doesn't cough and her lungs aren't irritated.
