Matej,
    Inside the WKPP there is no in water recompression.  If a diver is 
seriously bent they go to a chamber, no questions asked.  IWR is far to 
risky, requires massive volumes of gas, FFM, guaranteed means of 
controlling buoyancy and ascent rates, constant tenders, etc.  It is better 
to stay in shape, use the right gases, and do the right amount of 
decompression in the first place.
