Stuart, my advice is to calculate your critical tissue partial pressure and then do the math what happens when going to an altitude. And just wait for some time after the dive. Or breathe oxygen to desaturate qicker. Of course , tissue load depends on the dives you made. Friends of mine who left Scapa Flow were the only ones ( 2 out of 6) of their group who did not get bent, because they took their way back by car, while others took a plane and got bent. ( some did silly dives, though) regards Matthias stuart.morrison@sw*.co*.uk* schrieb: > > Hi All, > > driving back from some dive sites over here (Scotland) means driving > through some mountain passes -- winter can be fun!!! > > Anyway, I'm not talking major altitude changes, well within the ascent > after diving limits.
