Phuket Tourist Alert: How to Avoid The Dreaded DCI When Diving in Phuket

Decompression sickness, or DCI , is a serious but relatively rare affliction for Phuket scuba divers. However, it is not the case for tourists, while tour operators in Phuket strongly stress safety as a visitor to the island, there are several things you need to know about DB:
DCI or related diseases, DSI (decompression sickness) occurs, on average, over 1 in 10,000 travel urona.Simptomi both are similar. Patients describe the feeling of vertigo when leaving the water, and can become blotchy complexion, they will feel weak in the knees and May experience wild mood swing. Also, shortness of breath is common, such as loss of bladder control - and in extreme cases, severe pain, and then complete paralysis can occur
.
Other warning signs include fatigue and intense bouts of coughing, but all of the above can be easily avoided by following these simple instructions:
Always drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration when diving Phuket, Thailand as well as the environment is one that quickly sucks the liquid from the body, even though you are immersed all day in the wet stuff.
Always climb slowly and use a dive computer as you use your iPad or other high-tech device - tense, and all the time
!
I do not dive outside the no decompression, no matter how tempting coral and shipwrecks. Ignoring these limits is the fastest way to become a wreck myself.
When you are doing more dives in one day, pay even closer detail in the above instructions, as fatigue will always increase the chances for error.
