Effects of fluid loss on the physiology of closed-circuit rebreather divers after 100- and 45-metre dives
We found significant weight loss after both decompression dives but there were no clinical DCS symptoms in any of the divers. This study does not offer new evidence supporting the notion that dehydration increases decompression stress in divers.
