limeyx:40 @ 90 is quite a lot if it's on air (my limit would be more like 25 mins on air, and 35 on 32%) so that could be the source of the problem -- maybe your computer is too aggressive? Were you at 90 for the entire 40 mins?
This thread makes me wonder about a few things:
-Doesn't sound like she dove a square profile. She used a computer, and NO computer would still be in no deco mode diving air after 40 minutes at 90 feet, no matter how liberal (others have said this, sorry for the rehash).
-Diving something richer than good ol EAN21?
-After only being out of the water for a few minutes, she gets symptoms of possible Type II DCS. This was a serious hit.
It's hard to believe that she could have done everything right and still been so seriously hit. Kinda makes me scared to go in the water again. We need some more information.
Lisa - glad to hear you are OK, and thanks for bringing the experience to SB.
