Personalized decompression has gained interest since the 1990s, focusing on how some divers are more sensitive to decompression sickness (DCS) than others. New tools, like Azoth Systems’ O’Dive and the Divers Alert Network (DAN) Europe’s DANA Health system, aim to help divers tailor their decompression plans based on individual physiology. However, studies show inconsistencies in […]

Personalized decompression modeling aims to improve diver safety by considering individual physiological differences, but significant challenges remain. Current algorithms for managing decompression sickness (DCS) are based on outdated research that does not sufficiently account for individual variability or real-time biological metrics. While researchers are working to establish more reliable ways to predict DCS risks using […]

Decompression sickness (DCS) is becoming more common among freedivers, although it is less frequent than in scuba diving. Freedivers are exploring deeper depths, which increases their risk for DCS, particularly a type called Taravana syndrome. Factors contributing to this risk include making multiple deep dives without appropriate surface intervals, dehydration, and pre-existing medical conditions. To […]
