diving after dcs II

dreammermaid

My insurance for this accident runs out may 20th. I wonder if there's any use of trying to get more HBO Treatments or if too much time has passed to even try to find out. Previously I worked in very remote areas in Thailand and Malaysia where it is amazing more people weren't bent. I have been shocked at how lax we were with really having enough O2 to get someone to the chamber. Also sometimes the chamber was very far.I was "lucky" to have it happen in the Bahamas just off Miami so I could be airlifted there quickly.
Certainly I think about that now, being close to a chamber and having lots of O2 around. That's why I was encouraged to get more into tech diving as there is always alot of o2 and enriched air around. WHich agency is a good one? thanks again,Leila

Hey Leila

Best thing is to find an instructor whose style matches yours and whom you trust to deliver the quality you want and then do whatever course he/she is offering.

We have a close relationship with IANTD who have always taken very good care of us, so we offer their courses, but there are excellent instructors from every agency.

As far as more HBO, if there's no improvement in your symptoms than it is a big insult to your body for little benefit. You should discuss this with the Hyperbaric physican who handled you case.

Cheers

Seb
