Usable data were from 6 trips made between 1989-1999 where 281 repetitive, multi-day dive profiles were collected and analyzed. The total number of subjects in the analyzed data was 67 (46 males: 21 females). Of the 281 dives reviewed, no DCS occurred in monitored dives. One subject was treated after a later dive that was not part of the project.
