I am not going to get into the details of what, how, who, why or where. Nonetheless I think it is worth sharing.

This is the dive profile that bent a diver. The diver came out feeling very week, vomiting, peeing a lot and with red spots all over the legs.

After an hour on Oxygen the symptoms eased up but now there was pain and a numbing feeling starting in the legs. The closest recompression chamber was 7 hours away and with the prevailing sea and wind conditions it might have been more. So we opted for in-water recompression. Below is the profile for the in water recompression. All of it was done on 100% pure oxygen.

After this all the symptoms went and the diver was fine although fatigued and needing lots of sleep. We contacted the chamber doctor informed him of what we had done and he said there is no need to bring the diver in for a check up but we had to wait 48 hours before the diver can dive again. Two days later he/she was diving again.
