Soggy:In a case where a bend is noticed in the water, a small amount of IWR can be beneficial. Take, as an example, a diver who notices a bend at 15 ft after ascending from their O2 stop at 20 ft. Descent back down to 20 ft and extending decompression for as long as is practical at that depth, followed by a slow ascent, can decrease DCS symptoms.
What if the diver is having oxtox symptoms at their O2 stop, though, and they misdiagnose as DCS symptoms?
