Understanding Decompression Sickness For Kids

[@la5150hi-lophoto]

I really appreciate that you include your daughter in what is a male dominted profession/hobby. My father did the same thing..teaching me skills (like oil changes, simple plumbing/electrical, etc), and I really loved him for that...good father role model:)

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

I really love the fact that I can teach my daughter all the things i have learned over the years.

Thanks so much for this clear explanation! What I needed for my physiology exam!

Wow so glad to find this video. No wonder it's got so many useful tips to get to know DCS. Thumbs thumbs up

Bravo, now i totally get this and that experiment made everything make even more sense.

[@lindomarprudencia3103]

Excellent...,That is the best way to explain decompression sickness. Especially for kids. It is a funny way to show them.

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

It has been our experience that kids learn better when they can do small experiments like this one. I'm always cautious though, I've had several open the bottle in the classroom and make a big mess.

Dude. Excellent explanation! I appreciate this. Makes alot more sense now.

Hello Jammy Biggs, glad you liked the video.

[@MrRoryG]

Best explanation I’ve seen of it. Other videos don’t seem to link it all together as well, always felt like I was missing something.... I’m an adult... with a degree in physics... quite worrying really 🙂

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

Glad you liked our video. My daughter and I both love physics.

[@SeattleRingHunter]

Bryan your discussion starting at 4:23 regarding a super nitrogen saturation brings some questions to mind. In all your years of being in the dive industry I am curious if you have run across any repeated trends of non-professional recreational Hookah divers on longer hoses (past 30 feet of depth) getting "bent" because it may not be common for them to dive with a dive computer, or apply dive tables? It seems with petrol hookah systems they could run for long periods of time and therefore allowing the diver to over saturate if staying at depth too long. The concern really being is there a greater temptation for a non-professional Hookah dive to dive without dive computer, gauge set or applied tables. As with anything I am curious if some people see the Hookah diving systems as a way to skirt around standard SCUBA training being motivated by "saving money" by not taking a full SCUBA training course. Then press the limits of there dive times and depths causing them bodily harm. By no means am I trying to put any hookah divers in a bad light, judge them or put any of the hookah discipline into a bad light. I believe hookah for specific applications can be practiced safely and efficiently. Just curious if there is a temptation surrounding these systems that has trended to negative incidents. Thanks again. Cheers, #SeattleRingHunter

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

Hey Jeff, I have been asked this before. To simplify an answer, depending on what algorithm you use, most decompression tables will state that down to a depth of 35 feet, you theoretically have an unlimited amount of decompression time, as your body would never become over saturated. I don't have any stats on deaths or cases of DCS on Hookah divers.

Alright so my question simply put is, if I was say at around 100 feet deep would decompression sickness effect me much or would I need to be deeper

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

Hello R3D_STXG, great question. Depth of a dive and time of the dive are determining factors of how much nitrogen we absorb during a dive. But another key factor is our ascent rates. So even with a minumal amount of nitrogen, you can still develope decompression sickness with a fast ascent.

[@ryderlinebarger6248]

@@LakeHickoryScuba ok so if I were at 100ft deep and swam up at around 2 mph-3mph would it effect me

[@ryderlinebarger6248]

@@LakeHickoryScuba or better question, how fast would I have to swim to get nitrogen in my brain from 100ft deep

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

@@ryderlinebarger6248 Considering each person’s tissues are different as we all have fast and slow tissues and saturation rates, the recommended ascent rate is no faster than 30 feet per minute or a foot every 2 seconds. There are some agencies that teach a 60 feet a minute or 1 foot per second as being safe. We encourage divers to always stay conservative with ascent rates as decompression theory is theoretical at best.

[@ryderlinebarger6248]

@@LakeHickoryScuba ok so unless I’m literally out of air I will swim up at a relaxed pace

[@ericexp497]

So on rising to the surface, we must stay a certain distance under, so we dont get this sickness?

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

Hello Eric, to prevent Decompression Sickness, we must first never over saturate our body's tissues with Nitrogen, and we must always come up at a slow enough pace to allow gas elimination to occur. This pace is usually calculated as 1 foot per 2 seconds, or 30 feet per minute. A safety stop is generally recommend as added conservatism, though never required, which is a 3 to 5 minute stop between 10 feet and 20 feet, averaged at 15 feet. This stop is what I assume you are referring to.
