So... I got the bends



Well, as the title suggets.....

It was fairly minor I believe as far as bends go at least, about 9 hours in total of recompression in a couple of stints. This was at the end of September, I have not even considered diving since, but now I really want to dive again.

I cannot seem to attach the actual profile but will try to give an idea of the profile:

15m from 0 to 8 mins

dropping to 38m in 2 mins

staying at 38m for 4 mins

slowly up to 20m about 3 min to get there (deepstop on computer) staying for 5 min (more than required).

Taking 3 min to get to 12m, staying there for 8 min

Then 5 mins at 9m

Then moving very slowly up to 6m staying there for 25min

I know this maybe isn't as good as an actual profile pic but I think it gives some idea.


It is an unexplained bend, what steps do I need to take to dive again, is it even recommendable to dive again, I know there will be people out there with knowledge in this sort of area, as some of you will have been there.
