F YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN BENT:
Do you think DCI is a sport’s injury?
Yes - although I do believe that some folks are more predisposed than others - physical or mental characteristics.
Do you think that people who have been bent did something to deserve their hit?
Yes - they may not understand or be able to decipher the reason for the hit - so it may seem undeserved but there is a reason for all things.
Why do you think that people get DCI?
For the non obvious reasons - the physical nature of diving - characteristics of health, dehydration, stress can have impacts that are not intuitive to some divers.
Would you dive with someone who has been bent several times?
Why or why not?
Yes I would - their diving does not impact my diving. I am there to assist or have fun on the dive. It does not mean I will follow them on a profile that I am not comfortable with - I would cut the dive short without hesitation.
Do you think that your diving practices will protect you from getting bent?
Yes - although I have been known to ride my computer to stretch out a dive.
If you are willing to share your name, please indicate how you would like it to be referenced.
I would prefer to be anonymous.
Thanks and good luck.
