J'ai obtenu mon premier brevet de plong\u00e9e \u00e0 l'universit\u00e9, mais il s'est \u00e9coul\u00e9 beaucoup de temps avant que la plong\u00e9e ne prenne une place importante dans ma vie. Apr\u00e8s m'\u00eatre associ\u00e9 \u00e0 un magasin de plong\u00e9e local au d\u00e9but des ann\u00e9es 1990, je suis devenu divemaster et instructeur et j'ai enseign\u00e9 localement \u00e0 Monterey Bay, en Californie. Je fais g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement deux voyages de plong\u00e9e par an avec ma femme et parfois notre fils, qui sont tous deux des plongeurs exp\u00e9riment\u00e9s. Nous allons presque toujours \u00e0 Cozumel, au Mexique, o\u00f9 j'ai \u00e9t\u00e9 confront\u00e9 pour la premi\u00e8re fois \u00e0 l'accident de d\u00e9compression (ADD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

J'avais 68 ans et j'avais effectu\u00e9 plus de 900 plong\u00e9es lorsque nous nous sommes rendus \u00e0 Cozumel pour notre voyage de plong\u00e9e 2018. Nous s\u00e9journons toujours dans le m\u00eame centre de plong\u00e9e et sommes dans l'eau pour une plong\u00e9e de d\u00e9part quelques heures apr\u00e8s notre arriv\u00e9e. Lors de la premi\u00e8re journ\u00e9e compl\u00e8te de plong\u00e9e, nous avons commenc\u00e9 le matin par une plong\u00e9e de 29 minutes \u00e0 82 pieds (25 m\u00e8tres) avec un intervalle de surface d'une heure avant une deuxi\u00e8me plong\u00e9e sans incident. Le lendemain, nous \u00e9tions pr\u00eats pour mon site pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9, Santa Rosa Wall. Apr\u00e8s \u00eatre descendu sur le fond sablonneux \u00e0 environ 15 m\u00e8tres, on descend encore de 9 m\u00e8tres pour se diriger vers le nord le long du mur. De grandes ouvertures pour nager pars\u00e8ment les rochers de la taille d'une maison alors que vous d\u00e9rivez le long du r\u00e9cif.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it was time to end the dive, my buddy and I ascended to 20 feet (6 meters) for our safety stop. Everything was normal, as was the rest of our ascent. As soon as we surfaced I thought I saw the boat moving away from me but quickly realized I was disoriented and the boat wasn\u2019t moving. It felt like vertigo, but I managed to get on board the boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I removed my gear and was talking to my buddy when I started involuntarily leaning forward until I lost my balance and collapsed face-down on the deck. The problem was in my spine, and I felt paralyzed and couldn\u2019t get up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notre divemaster m'a imm\u00e9diatement donn\u00e9 de l'oxyg\u00e8ne \u00e0 100 % et a pr\u00e9venu le capitaine. Nous sommes rapidement retourn\u00e9s au quai du centre de vill\u00e9giature. Pendant le trajet de retour, ils ont appel\u00e9 la terre ferme et contact\u00e9 DAN, qui s'est occup\u00e9 de tout ce dont j'avais besoin. Lorsque nous sommes arriv\u00e9s au quai, un secouriste m'attendait pour me transporter \u00e0 l'h\u00f4pital local, qui n'\u00e9tait qu'\u00e0 un kilom\u00e8tre de l\u00e0. Ils ont d\u00fb me tra\u00eener hors du bateau, une personne sous chaque bras, parce que je ne pouvais pas marcher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nous sommes arriv\u00e9s \u00e0 l'h\u00f4pital du centre-ville de Cozumel, o\u00f9 l'on a proc\u00e9d\u00e9 \u00e0 une \u00e9chocardiographie pour v\u00e9rifier la pr\u00e9sence \u00e9ventuelle d'un foramen ovale (PFO) ou d'une obstruction des vaisseaux sanguins. Apr\u00e8s avoir effectu\u00e9 un examen neurologique pour exclure une embolie, ils m'ont admis \u00e0 l'h\u00f4pital et ont d\u00e9termin\u00e9 que je souffrais d'un accident de d\u00e9compression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first U.S. Navy Table 6 chamber treatment did some good, but I was hospitalized overnight and spent almost five hours in the chamber for the same treatment again the next day. After that recompression, I didn\u2019t pass the walking test, so the doctors determined the DCI still wasn\u2019t fully resolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

J'ai pass\u00e9 encore deux heures dans le caisson ce jour-l\u00e0 et encore deux heures le troisi\u00e8me jour, recevant des fluides par intraveineuse et me reposant apr\u00e8s chaque traitement, mais aucune autre proc\u00e9dure n'a \u00e9t\u00e9 n\u00e9cessaire. Les m\u00e9decins m'ont finalement lib\u00e9r\u00e9 apr\u00e8s quatre longs s\u00e9jours dans le caisson en trois jours, et je suis sorti de l'h\u00f4pital sans aucune assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAN made all the arrangements for my care behind the scenes. I was grateful that I didn\u2019t have to worry, especially since I probably wasn\u2019t fit to have those discussions anyway. I\u2019ve been a DAN member for more than 20 years, and my membership and dive accident insurance were vitally important on this trip. As an insurance broker, I know that most medical policies don\u2019t cover many incidents that can happen in the water \u2014 and not just to divers, so I always keep my DAN membership and dive accident insurance current. Even when you are well-trained and conscientious and you do everything right, you can still get bent at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After reviewing my dive profile from my dive computer, I concluded that I had done nothing wrong \u2014 no fast ascent, no missed safety stops \u2014 but I got DCI anyway. My experience taught me that whether you\u2019ve made nine or 900 dives and whether you\u2019re a beginning diver or a divemaster, you need to be prepared for anything to happen. The final hospital bill for my treatment was more than $22,000, but I never had to pay a dime. I realized that I could afford my DAN insurance for more than a lifetime for less than this one incident would have cost me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I was cleared to fly, I returned home and met with my cardiologist to review the images from my stay in the Cozumel hospital and to take some additional tests. I didn\u2019t have a PFO, and later that year I was cleared to return to diving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

J'ai b\u00e9n\u00e9fici\u00e9 de l'assurance accident de plong\u00e9e DAN longtemps avant d'en avoir besoin, et m\u00eame si je n'en ai plus jamais besoin, elle a largement \u00e9t\u00e9 pay\u00e9e. Je continuerai \u00e0 plonger aussi longtemps que je le pourrai et je ne me passerai jamais de DAN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
