But I think if you want to be real safe about it give yourself 6 hours, so then you are off the reppettitive dive table, but then this maybe a bit cautious, its all a risk, but it's up to you....

Steve you say that your bend was put down to pre dive exertion and dehydration. Can anyone explain why predive exertion causes bends other than it may lead to some dehydration. I always thought exercise related bends could only happen afterwards where microbubs are in muscle tissue, then by exerting the muscle you are forcing bubbles into the bloodstream where they may join other bubbles, making bigger bubbles that become BAD?
Hi Bob,

click the link on my earlier post it explains it there.

Safe diving,
Steve
