How do you know when you have cut it a bit fine?
Basically, extreme fatigue is normally a good indicator of sub clinical DCS. You can generally tell when you're feel good.

The difficult part comes in that most divers will sleep inadequately the night before, they'll eat/hydrate poorly and then they'll top that lot off with a niiiice long drive to/from the dive site. Now how do you know whats causing the fatigue?

Deco is the one subject we divers seem to pay lip service to. Its foundation is your own body, you know, that glistening testament to health and fitness.

Theres a whole pile of information out there that is well worth reading, as long as you bear in mind the basic fundamentals of the mechanisms of gas transport/physiology, you'll make progress.

I'll do some digging at some point and put up a few links.....
