A misconception that some people are under is that if you come to the surface, miss -stops and go through the glass window you automatically are in a world of trouble. As many of you may be aware it's been standard practise for years in the commercial diving world to complete what's called "surface D" or more graphically the "fizz-run". This is where the diver is brought from a shallow water stop (generally 50' ish) and brought straight to the surface stripped of his gear and then blown back down in a surface recompression chamber - all this taking place in under 5 minutes. If for some reason you have to get to the surface by controlled or uncontrolled reasons - as long as you get back down to your 15-18m stop within 5 minutes then the chances are your deco will run smoothly - I say "chances are" - you're all big enough to reason why. |
