Forgive me father for I have committed the sin of posting in the deco section without ownership of decoplanner...
At the back of this months (March issue) Diver magazine, there is an article on whales showing signs of DCI. This was caused by them ascending too quickly, and went on to blame navy sonar for scaring them out of the depths and causing them to bolt for the surface.
Daft question:
Given that whales take a lungful of air at the surface, how can ascending put them at any risk of DCI?
Daft question 2:
If it can and does and I'm missing something fundamental here, do freedivers get bent?
