Even so , a hyperbaric specialist at a local hospital ( Alfred Hospital in
Melbourne ) mentioned to
me that sports divers who have done approximately 2000 dives in 10 years should
have a long bone 
scan performed as a base line to detect any deleterious effects that may "rear
their ugly heads"
 in later years . Does this seem unreasonable ?
