in some "arenas" unless the chamber is on the boat directly above the
dive site, the only possible consideration for "recompression therapy"
is in water... this falls under the "i can tell you, but then i'm gonna
have to kill you" clause, so after you read this you know what to do :).

there are some studies locally (would you say covert or secret or under
the table sorta military funded stuff!??!) that are gonna shake up a
lot of people out there (are you listening mr shreeves :)) when the
papers (due out this year) make the proper channels.  *briefly*, it
had been documented profusely that if the diver (patient) (pig) is
not in treatment or back in the water within *seven* minutes there
are significant permanent deficits...  so in my opinion (one i've
had since the begenning) there is no other choice...

*BUT*BUT*BUT*

the main reason *NO* body speaks of the evil of in water recompression
is that even alot of the professionals cannot diferentiate between the
many "types" of dcs\dci.

*SO*  PLEASE DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME LEST THE ABOMOBIDLE MONSTER OF
LIABILITY SWOOP DOWN UPON US ALL DEVOURING OUR HOPE FOR A BETTER 
UNDERSTANDING OF THE TRUTH.
