How soon after a mild concussion(without loss of conciousness) should a diver resume diving? Is DCS a higher risk after a concussion?

I would consult a physician.

Which end is up?

I would consult a physician.


A physican was consulted, but they were unsure of timeframe when to resume.

ok, marla.

what'd you do? :teeth:

Well, there is a sidewalk lined with rocks in Bonaire that I will steer clear of the next time there. If you aren't watching where you are going, you can stub toes on the rocks, or your entire body end up on the sidewalk. I happened to do the latter, hitting my head on a rock. Basically was a clutz :unsure:


Well, I hope your ok, and can get back in the water soon!

Take care

Dennis


Thanks Dennis :)

well, no pressure's back from lcbr, so i'm sure he'll give you a legitimate answer;
but i'd say if you're able to post here, you're out of the woods.


wait...hmmm, on second thought, most of us HERE are so far BACK in the woods that we've become mushrooms.....
