Hi all,
I have had a question on my mind for some time and thought this was the best place to ask it!
My question concerns air bubbles and nitrogen bubbles. I understand that DCS is caused by the formation of nitrogen bubbles in the blood and that this can lead to varying degrees of severity for the diver. My question is why is it that air bubbles in the blood are so much more severe than nitrogen bubbles and can cause death so quickly i.e. AGE?
Any help with this much appreciated.
Thanks,
Tristan
