Decompression illness in breath-hold divers: insights from an online survey
Breath-hold divers can experience DCI even when diving within their limits. The most cited contributors to DCI were depth, short surface interval between dives, and pulmonary barotrauma. Most divers' symptoms resolved after treatment with surface oxygen, in-water recompression, and/or hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
