The tables are available, as are gear lists. That said, if you take a bad enough hit to need IWR (vs something like skin bends maybe better treated with surface oxygen), I don’t think you’ll be remotely in a state of mind or body to be able to accomplish it. It takes an immense amount of time, exposure protection, and ideally 2+ support people.I would like to discuss emergency In water decompression as a solo diver on my own boat and my diving in remote locations
I honestly don't know what this sentence means, but I will try to respond to parts of it.I was attending a DAN forum at 2013 DEMA and that being off topic , people can and do use this tool using correct circumstantial judgement.
To restate your question: diving solo off a boat that's anchored and you reach the surface with decompression sickness symptoms -- you're interested in how to do in-water recompression.At DEMA one should avoid this topic .

You seem to be stating that oxygen on the boat is equivalent to oxygen at depth? I find it hard to believe that crushing bubbles at depth and then hanging out there (on oxygen) has zero potential benefit.Solo off a private boat you are nuts to be considering substantive IWR. Drop into 20ft on 100% for 20mins and possibly mitigate symptoms sure... But you could do roughly the same by doing 30 mins in the boat on the surface while you wait for help to arrive. And be in communication with them the whole time and not underwater when they arrive. And not add the risk of toxicity, losing the boat, or worse. If you aren't THAT bad in the first place, then just go to a chamber.
So dumb it's got to be a troll.
