Decompression stress
Neal Pollock

World-renowned diving medicine expert Dr Neal Pollock gave everyone a lot to think about with his talk on the thoughtful management of decompression stress.

Neal looked at the many factors that can alter decompression stress and the practical strategies all divers can use to optimise decompression safety.

“It is increasingly common for divers to rely on dive computers for their decompression safety. Dive computers do not yet measure or integrate a multitude of factors that can alter decompression stress.”- Dr Neal Pollock.
