# I also have bought some DCIEM tables (obtained from Dive Experience,

I attended a diving medicine seminar this past summer on Treasure
Island (San Fransico). It was something of a who's-who in diving
medicine. It almost scared me into selling my dive equipment :-)

Many diving professionals freely commented on diving tables. Every
one of them recommended the DCIEM tables for sports divers. No
exception. A few MD's/physiologist/cardiologist specificly advised
against use of the PADI tables/wheel, suggesting it was too liberal.

I guess the autopsy slides of damaged cerebral/spinal/bone tissue
from fatal DCS hits left an impression. I, too, am now using the
DCIEM tables. (or occasionally Buhlmann in my Aladin dive computer)
