I don't think it has to be that deep even... I think I've heard of those symptoms as 'subclinical'DCS. It seemed (IME) to occur after dives in the 40-50m range (Air) early in the season when doing the stops called for BSAC 88 tables (i.e. no extra stops - I've got into the habit of adding lots of 'safety stops'). Basically you get very tired - I have dozed off in the Compressor shack at Lochaline dive centre whilst the damn thing was running, for two hours, after diving the Rondo. At the time I don't think I was quite 'worked up' to it (short bottom time at 50m). Other people have mentioned this sort of thing. I think it's real. Jason. (Shepherd).
