Have you ever seen a skinny marine mammal? Surely as divers we are all following the natural tendencies of mammalian species which maintain body heat by surrounding vital organs and muscle with a layer of blubber.... fat divers is nothing more than natural
Interestingly though, during a conversation with another diver that is involved with all agencies and regularly liaises with DDRC and similar I was told that most studies have shown that fat should not be thought to be a pre-disposing factor to DCI in fact almost the opposite, that it seems it's the skinny people that tend to get bent - possibly due to coldness affecting their off-gassing.
What's your view?
Been bent?
Know soneone that has?
