I feel, in children the concern is mostly for growing bones. These
tissues differ from those affected by disbaric necrosis.

The links shown do not in any way relate to young divers, but to
occupational hazards only, and very clearly link DON to exposure time
and pressure.
Both are of no concern in children diving, because these will and have
to be limited.

There was a study where it was said that a group of asian divers
remained too small for their age, and this was related, though with no
good correlation , to the the fact they had been diving since young age.
Anybody have this text, or summary ?
