  1. Happy to announce that I’m back in my hotel after a bout of #Decompression #Sickness (#DCS) AKA the #Bends at the weekend. We think it was the culmination of six consecutive dives over three days between 38m and 41m on the MV #Zenobia in #Larnaca in #Cyprus. Was transferred to the #hyperbaric #chamber in #Paphos General #Hospital for three chamber sessions and two nights stay. Sincere #gratitude to all the hospital and chamber staff who made me welcome and took care of me.

  2. Broken by the bends: the deadly toll on Honduras’s Indigenous lobster divers

    More than 4,000 #Indigenous #Miskito #divers have in recent years suffered disabling injuries as a consequence of #decompression #sickness – the equivalent of roughly one in every nine men above the age of 14 in the entire department. At least 400 have died, and countless others have been lost at sea.
