Symptoms of Decompression Sickness & What to Do Now

[@EEEZSolutionS]

Mark... I am in the medical business and you just gave one of the best presentations I've ever seen on the neurological symptoms and presentations of DCS... you could have been speaking to the staff of an ED (emergency department) as to the proper way to test for DCS.... as well as other neuro issues, as well. Great job, as always! My wife and I are great fans of your - keep up the amazing work. Larry

A extremely well presented video on the neurological evaluation of DCS symptoms. Your video emphasised the importance of completing a Rescue Diver course combined with First Aid/First Responder & Oxygen Provider certification.

[@ScubaDiverMagazine]

Rescue, such an important course. Most real-world incidents aren't as calm and organized as the Open Water Course

[@ahmedmahomed]

Really good idea for me to learn, as I'm just starting out my padi open water course. 😊😊❤❤ #askmark maybe?...

[@norbertosalazarzagaglia6216]

Great Master Class Mark!! Thanks a lot for being so good at pronunciation . very important for foreiners like me,

[@taylorbickel9537]

This is a lot of great info I hope I never have to use. I took a ton of notes

[@sammoyers905]

Excellent presentation, Mark. Thank you for refreshing my aging memory of the sign and symptoms.

I am going to need a Rescue Diver to save me from the brain aneurysm I just had at 0:30. Maybe that diver had one, too? That would explain....whatever that is.

[@CrazyScubaCouple]

i don't know what's worse, the fact that he just took a shitty course with a shitty instructor or the fact that they put this clip in this video on what is supposed to be an educational scuba diving channel... imagine diving with a dude like that, ✋✊👍👍 after 10 minutes of dive.

Back in Aug I did my PADI OW Dives. A few days later I had what looked like a pimple between my nose and eye. Next morning I had a ring around my one eye. Cleared up after a few days. I was told it could have been Mask Squeeze. Don't recall experiencing anything different during the 60 ft dive that I normally don't in my college pool.

[@ppo2424]

Yes, mask squeeze, your not likely to get DCS at that depth, you could get DCI, but that's a mask squeeze you're describing.

[@CrazyScubaCouple]

yup, that's mask squeeze, make sure you always insuflate air in your mask when you're descending.

[@chrisphilhower6029]

@@ppo2424 The pimple did Pop. Like a normal one

[@ahmedsamy8406]

I got bad itching after a dive at the Red Sea but after I went to the doctor 1 hr later he told me it’s just a regular sun burn not DCS 😂😂

[@dtt3426]

thank you for the explanation of the term "bends" excellent video

[@Quirkemiester]

Great video lots of useful info 👍

[@joshthediver]

It’s a little scary that so many instructors are not teaching DCS well enough

[@ppo2424]

Depends what level of training you're at.

[@CrazyScubaCouple]

0:35 what the fuck is this guy doing with his arms¿?¿?

[@Frankiewizard]

🙂

[@PostalTwinkie]

I vote we can call it the Tropic Flounder. They are found in their natural habitat, 10m-20m, twice a year. It is a rare sighting!

[@ahmedmahomed]

He is unable to move with fins. He is disabled. That is the only one of two ways that he is able to move underwater. (The other being an underwater scooter.)

[@ahmedmahomed]

With special gloves, he is able to move underwater that way.

[@CrazyScubaCouple]

@@ahmedmahomed aha, cute, except disabled people that don't have leg mobility don't wear fins, and as you say, use palmed gloves... it was a rethorical question, you see...? the truth's more likely that he is just a noob that took a shitty owd course with a shitty instructor and has no idea what's actually going on.
