Interesting article for scuba diving pilots at https://www.faa.gov/pilots/safety/pilotsafetybrochures/media/dcs.pdf This event http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20377149 The fact that it is rapid is further concern http://www.avmed.in/2011/10/cabin-pressurisation-%E2%80%93-hazards-of-rapid-decompression/ Note: Most of this is about the pilot who also dives. I know that an hour at 10,000 feet (3,000m) will give me a deep headache and slowed response time -- even when I haven't been diving recently. _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list [email protected] http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
