Take a look at the following sections and related links for basic information. If you have already enrolled then the on-line forms to help send data back to Sue can be accessed from the forms menu . If you don't have a computer or would like to take part via DSL then again contact Sue to be advised of the nearest DSL base.

Symptoms are subjective complaints that only divers themselves are aware of.
These can include general discomforts, tingling sensations, and pains. Signs , on the other hand, are conditions that you observe or can be demonstrated by examination. These can include weakness, limping, or slurred speech. Both controlled trials and observational studies are necessary for improving diving safety and establishing safe and efficient guidelines. Traditional diving safety investigations have been conducted in simulated laboratory trials with human subjects.
