These questions are for everyone.  However, I am most interested in hearing
from the Austrailian divers that appear to more readily admit DCS and
therefore treat it more frequently and openly.  

1)  What types and symptoms of DCS have you seen, which are most frequent?
2)  Do you count Fatigue as a DCS incidence?
3)  How do you usually treat each type and severity of DCS?  For example,
Surface O2 for Skin Bends and In-water recompression for joint pain etc.
4)  What criteria is used to make the "let's go to the chamber" decision?
5)  In your experience,  do different divers get a particular DCS symptoms
more frequently? For example, Diver 1 get Skin Bends most often and Diver 2
gets left elbow pain most often.

Thanks,
tnt

Q:  Why would anyone want to do that?
A:  Apparent gravitational freedom is the ultimate escape.
