> 2000 dives over a period of 10 years

Allowing for each dive to take 1 hour this is saying that a doctor
has recommended scans for a person who spends on average approx 4hours
a week at pressure. This is worrying!

What has he found as his results as many of use probably come close
to this figure if not exceed it.

Just one point if this can effect people whos do 200 dives or less
a year and is as serious as they say in this program ( ie wheel chairs etc)
Why has the commercial diving community kept quiet for so long, yes it is 
recognised as a factor, and yes there is no unions, but surely the government
and such agencies would have brought it to the fore front more often.
