What was the Dive Ending Injury in "Men of Honor"?

[JKPAO]

Dialog from the movie Men of Honor




Doc to Chief Sunday: Master Chief Sunday you sustained a serious air embolism.

Chief: Embolism?

Doc: Both lobes of the lungs were severly scarred.

Chief: Can't cheat the laws of nature forever.

Doc: I'm afraid it is inoperable.

Chief: Ain't that a bitch.....
What happens next time i go diving? I start taking on bottom pressure?

Doc: Any increase in pressure will kill you instantly.

See you topside! John

Oops, that is a strange slip. I know I searched on “Sunday”, but must have been thinking of a Jazz singer when typing the reply. :blush:

Unfortunately, there were a lot of older divers who shared character traits with the fictional Billy Sunday when I was going through training in the early 1970s. Fortunately none were Master Divers and I didn’t have to work with them after school! Master candidates were being evaluated during my First Class Diver training in DC. I find it difficult to see how a reckless hell-raiser personality-type could get their Master pin.
