So, there I was talking to my friend who works at USC-LCMC (a training Hospital here in Los Angeles, California) about getting a tour of the hyperbaric chamber on Catalina (because the USC docs oversee treatment) and he tells me he wrote a paper on dive accidents in California covering the last five years.
Well, wouldnt ya know: The leading cause of dive accidents in California (probably elsewhere too) requiring use of the Hyperbaric Chamber are:
1) Being a new diver
2) Going to deep
3) Ascending to fast
If you didnt know, now you do
***new divers watch your depth and watch your ascents or get DAN or Dive Assure insurance***
