If we don't define "bends" in terms of exhibited symptoms, how DO we define it? The presence of bubbles in the tissues or circulatory system? If so, then we all get "bent" after just about every dive. Of course, I fully understand that just because a diver believes him- or herself to be asymptomatic does NOT necessarily mean that permanent damage wasn't done (too many negatives? :->). But we still have the practical problem of drawing a line between "bent" and "not bent"... Just some rantings... Aloha, Rich deepreef@bi*.bi*.ha*.or*
