NAUI Master Scuba Diver 176 Decompression and Recompression ground of some of the prevailing theories so that appropriate techniques can be used for your diving situation. Dive computers have become very popular with divers, and training is required to fully understand their use. For treatment of DCS and AGE, divers need chambers, which are made in various shapes and sizes and often serve routine functions not related to treating the recreational diving accident victim. They are complex systems requiring expertise to run and maintain. You should be prepared to transport to one whenever you even think the need exists. Leave your ego and image behind when you are dealing with DCS, or think you may be. Special care is required when diving at higher altitudes in fresh water. You should always plan your dive carefully and not guess at any information regarding an altitude dive. Diving at higher altitudes can be a challenging and rewarding experience if you follow the guidelines. When contemplating such dives you should always contact instructors or dive businesses located in the area of the planned dive expedition in order to determine local rules and suitable sites.
