| I'm no doc either but belive a v.slow accent or very frequent stops might help more than longer stops. I think the problem with PFO is that small bubble in the venous blood strean shunt via the PFO into the artirial blood stream instead of being filtered by the lungs. So it follows that by reducing small bubbles in the venous blood stream the chance of DCI can be reduced.
