In-Water Recompression Survey

In-water recompression (IWR) is a controversial topic in dive medicine. Some people think it is a potentially lifesaving last resort for a diver exhibiting symptoms of decompression illness (DCI) when far from definitive care. Others emphasize the evident risk of potentially making a bad situation worse.

Combinaisons humides et miction

Uriner dans une combinaison humide est courant chez de nombreux plongeurs récréatifs et n’est généralement pas nocif lorsque l’exposition est limitée. L’immersion dans l’eau, particulièrement dans l’eau froide, déclenche la diurèse d’immersion, un phénomène qui déplace le sang vers la circulation centrale et augmente la production d’urine. La plupart des plongeurs ressentent cette envie quelques minutes seulement après être entrés dans l’eau.
