"then you know that
bouncing to 20 feet or whatever to pick up a bottle and immediately returning to the surface is the
like giving yourself a home-made PFO: the bubbles in the venous side compress enough to get past
the lungs and then will reexpand on the arterial side and lodge in the worst places, the spine and brain
blood supplies."
