Hi All
Having now decided that I am completely addicted to diving, it seems prudent to start understanding a little more about being a reponsible diver.
My main area of conern is that I am not familiar with the appropriate action to take in a suspected DCI case, within UK Water, both inland and at sea.
I have done a great deal of reading up, as I hope any responsible diver would, but would like the benefit of your experience in asking what is the appropriate action in a case like this. I'm not talking about first aid, that is what training is for, I'm talking about who do you call, 999? nearest chamber?, what information should you have at hand etc.
Ideally, I'd like to make out a "crib sheet" so that anyone, even with no experience, should be able to report in with the appropriate information to the appropriate people.
So, then, assuming all diving is in the uk,
who ya gonna call, and what you gonna tell them...
