Scuba Forum / General / March 2004Pill for divers?
Sorry if this has been posted already. http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99994809 Yes, it has. > Sorry if this has been posted already. > > http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99994809 > Sorry if this has been posted already. > > http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99994809 **Many questions remain to be answered, though. Other researchers say it is plausible that exercise helps eliminate microbubbles, but question whether NO production is really the main factor.** Seems that I always read that exercise after a dive was discouraged, with physical stress being linked to DCS in some divers who exercise after diving. >> Sorry if this has been posted already. >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >physical stress being linked to DCS in some divers who exercise after >diving. I've also seen that, particularly from DAN. Also that "heat" can cause bubbles, whether from a hot tub, a hot shower or even a really hot day (welcome to Central Texas in August).

Didn't someone the other day point out a cite from DAN that said that a hot tub excursion after diving *might* actually *lower* bubble issues? > > >> Sorry if this has been posted already. > > >> [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > Didn't someone the other day point out a cite from DAN that said that a hot > tub excursion after diving *might* actually *lower* bubble issues? I saw that as well, but it goes against everything that I was taught or read. One blurb that I found (which sourced the NOAA and Navy diving manuals) states: **PHYSICAL STRESS - Exertion before, during, and after the dive inhibits the off-gas process. Hard swimming against a strong current is a common mistake. Hot baths, saunas, hot tubs, and Jacuzzis after a dive also inhibit the off-gas process. Rest for several hours after a deep dive is important.** However, virtually every liveaboard has a hot tub and people are constantly in them. I've never seen anyone bent. >> > >> Sorry if this has been posted already. >> > >> [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] >However, virtually every liveaboard has a hot tub and people are constantly >in them. I've never seen anyone bent. I guess that quicky between dives is back on the agenda :-) Signaturedillon Life is always short, but only you can make it sweet snip > >**PHYSICAL STRESS - Exertion before, during, and after the dive inhibits the > >off-gas process.
