Barotrauma and Submersion Injuries

What does a guy from the mountains of Colorado know about Diving Injuries? Colorado has one of the highest numbers of divers per-capita in the country and I have been one of them since the mid 80’s including time on a Dive Rescue Team.  We will talk about the four gas laws and how they relate to the physics of diving. We will talk about the causes, signs and symptoms, and treatment for decompression sickness, submersion injuries, and problems associated with breathing compressed gasses, and the treatment for scuba emergencies related to barotraumas.
