:Was wondering what you more experienced folks thought.

Now that you have heard so many people say almost the same thing, what
was the part in the article that you considered overstated. Remember,
most of us didn't read it.

Dan,

I don't have the article handy but it just "seemed" that maybe the
author's emphasis on "theroretical" problems might have been overstated
but I've heard enough here to get the point.

Towards the end of the article the author advocated that because of all
these" theoretical" problems that could develop, it's probably not a
good idea for many people to board the boat with all that heavy gear on
because the effort required could excerbate any nitrogen retension
issues that may be at play.

Any thoughts on that?

Strenuous exercise is believed to exacerbate the potential for DCS problems.
I guess it all depends on your nitrogen status at the time and how strenuous
a climb back on to the boat is for you.

By the way, retention isn't the issue. Release is.

I didn't read the article but I do know that it is easier to get hit in
the head by the boat at 5 feet than at 50.... OW!
