Hi All,
I was reading a story about a guy names Michale Proudfoot. He was wreck diving, and his regulator broke, so he lost all of his air. Luckily he found a pocket of air in the wreck. So the story goes, he survived off of that pocket of air for two days until someone found him. He also ate sea urchins for food.
So the question that I have is this: Could he have gotten the bends if he tried to swim to the surface? He was breathing "uncompressed" air...I think. Or would it be considered compressed because it was underwater? The articles that I have read do not say the depth.
