DCS incident after wreckdive

[Miyaru]

I'm surprised to this gas/bubble discussion coming from a 64m/210ft dive. Yes it's beyond rec limits, but this dive is not deep and long enough to make a significant difference in choice of decompression model. Bubble and gas model will produce the same plan, with one or two minutes difference.

Let me refresh those fragile memories, the NEDU study was based on 170ft/30min dive profiles....

@ajduplessis Seriously, do you think a dive to 64m/210ft with 18 minutes bottom time, and 40% nitrogen compares to 52m/170ft with 30min bottom time and 79% nitrogen?

The problem with the argument is the "since symptoms manifested when the diver got shallow" -- when that happens, clearly "getting shallower faster" doesn't sound like a good plan. Just as clearly, ascending would be rather unwise in general, and the best way to prevent DCS is to never come up at all.

Final followup. A week ago I had a MRI scan of my shoulder. No damage to the bone tissues, no damage to the blood vessels.
Back to deeper waters!
