Decompression sickness: bubbles forming from dissolved inert gas when pressure drops faster than tissues can release it. It is the risk the entire NDL/ascent-rate/safety-stop system exists to manage. Gear research context only — prevention and response are training and medical topics (DAN is the canonical resource divers cite).
▚ TRAINING NOTEDive within your training and certification. This is gear research, not dive instruction, and not a substitute for training from a certified instructor. Service intervals and no-fly figures cited on this site are illustrative — follow your manufacturer’s manual and your agency’s / DAN’s guidance.
