What went wrong
DCS symptoms appeared after a cave dive and one diver lost consciousness, requiring a call to DAN for an emergency medevac. The video stresses knowing how to get emergency assistance and recognizing symptoms early.
A long first-hand account of a December 2023 cave diving trip to Abaco, covering the first dive, the onset of DCS symptoms, one diver going unconscious, the call to DAN and what followed. The divers share it so others can learn from it.
Why divers recommend it
