Nope, I'm still clean
Yes, mild type 1 (untreated)
Yes, mild type 1 (took a ride)
Yes, serious type 2
Have you gotten bent?
I'm curious. It's anonymous, so please answer truthfully. I suspect WAY more people have gotten bent than like to admit to.
...Which would make that speaker on the other thread rather ho hum...
If you've been bent several times please just indicate the most serious event.

Need more options...
Yes; both 1 AND 2
Yes; 1, but treated it myself.
No; but I plan to

what about a maybe answer? aka some symptoms, but not 100% and didn't go to the doc. :/
I had a suspected and did 2 treatments totalling 8 hours. Turns out I pulled my shoulder getting into the boat. Didn't have a ladder at the time so we had to climb up the leg and over the stern. That'll learn me.
I'm trying to keep it simple. Freddy, as I say, report worst case. Self treatment is the same as non treatment IMHO - at least that's how I intended it. I'd treat "some symptoms but did nothing" as option 1, Ant. newman, I suppose I'd call yours a "no". Oh - and I'm assuming that no one who has a serious hit is dumb enough to sit at home hoping it disappears...

I had a type 2 hit (vertigo, nausea, abd / back pain, blurred vision) August of 2008. It was an undeserved / unearned hit...I found out the hard way that I had a PFO. I had the PFO closed in November,and have since started diving again end of February.
Interesting. So far, HALF the respondents have had some sort of incident. And I didn't even impose a limit on minimum nomber of cave dives.
Seems like "bent cave diver" is almost tautological.

I was going to post on the other thread, but decided not to 'cause I would have said that IMHO if you do this long enough you WILL get bent and it's just a matter of time......
Safe diving,

Sure, diving tables or "ratio" deco. Do yourself a favor and get a computer.
Human error's a *****.

Actually the one time I did take a hit was the only time I dove mix on a computer. Luckily only a very mild hit. People looked at me funny driving down I10 with my O2 reg in my mouth.Originally Posted by Slüdge
