Out of curiosity, what's the general consensus of an appropriate wait to return to diving after a mild Type 2 hit that resolved with one Table 6 treatment?
I've heard a few varying things, from the DAN website, which says 4-6 weeks, to the hyperbaric tech, which suggested 3-4 months (damn, that's a long time!).
Seems to me that any inflammation/residual damage should be cleared up after 4 weeks or so.
Plus, returning to decompression diving? Prior to the DCS hit, I was planning dives with 1-2 hour run times, and about 15-30 min of accelerated deco. I'd like to return to that...is there any issues I haven't thought of concerning returning to deco diving?
