Owh. There is no real understanding of how it happens but if you dive within the NDL than there are less chances of getting it.
Most DC should have O2 but not all boats would have them unless its those that goes out for 2 or 3 dives a day.
Its your responsibility to check with the center if they have it, never assume they will have it.

That’s Hero 2018 or something. It’s crap? So what’s an affordable all in camera? Or does such a thing does not exist?

Your prerogative to ask ahead of your booking, as it isn't mandatory.

Admittedly I've been slacking on this too. But generally i choose dive centers with nitrox, so at least they'll have O2 in the dive center if not on the boat.

PS can you link that fb post here please.

It's possible to convert it to din later on anyway, and vice versa. Once you see the light

By definition DCS is caused by insufficient decompression.

Any info on how did the DCS happen ?

Correct me if i'm wrong, even if you dive within NDL, but if you ascent too fast you will get DCS as well.

My instructor tips is to ascent slower than the slowest bubble you exhale. In case you don't have comp or any references on ascending.

DCS = Decompression Sickness.
When you go diving and breath in compressed air from your tank, Nitrogen is absorbed into your blood streams along with oxygen. At deeper depths, the amount of Nitrogen absorbed is higher. So, If you do not do safety stops after going over the NDL, the Nitrogen cannot diffuse out of your body fast enough and forms bubbles in your blood streams. This leads to different DCS depending on how much Nitrogen you have in your body and how fast you ascend without safety stop

Nope, that is not DCS, that is Lung over expansion. DCS and lung over expantion is categorized under DCI, Decompression Illness.
But it is true that you should now ascend too fast if you don't want to get DCS. You should do your safety/decompression stops.

Arh sorry !

Perhaps I didn't make myself clear enough.

What I meant was how the facebook incident happened.

What leads the person to get DCS.

I've heard stories even if you dive within the safety limits you'll still get it.

Was thinking did that happened or not.

Ascent too fast will increase the risk of DCS

never mention how it happens....
as i dig more into DCS from web,more ways of getting it....some even mention cause by wetsuit

Nitrox next course for me......
let me dig out the fb page coz now my fb full of polling stories or pagesss

I've taken a dry course for nitrox.

KOPI O LESEN.

Never dived on nitrox.

Forget everything about nitrox.

Can get it about Rm 300+ certified instructor. Well known too.

Pm me for more info.

There are lots of suggested cause of it but not fully accurate. Everyone is different so chances of getting it is different also.

i had some headaches after diving at PJ Palm - 3 m. haha. maybe too much up and down haha.

so far i've seen most operators bringing on the oxygen kits to the boat.

Headaches.....PJ palm 3m....too many mermaids there izzit
maybe fr next dive trip onwards hv to ask dive center whether they hv oxygen on boat or at least in their center...

i think is this post regarding the DCS in Malaysia.

Ascending too fast increases your decompression stress. 9m/min is currently the recommended speed.

If you think about it, a safety stop is a decompression stop to slow your ascent. Ascending from 18m to the surface at 9m/min, with a 3 min safety stop, averages out to a ~4m/min ascent rate.

most likely cant make it to mide...

Hero 5 or Hero 6 more powerful then Hero 2018..GOPRO/action camera was a simple camera to do videos/photos for capture your diving moment.. Good for beginners diver.. Easy to handle..hehe sorry my English S*cks! LoL
