Location description: Here is some exmaples of our answers:
* "Can I Dive After Running a Marathon?
I'm running my first marathon this month in Maui. I'd like to dive a couple of days after the marathon. Can I?
via e-mail
Even if the race includes ascending to significant altitude, as might be the case on Maui, you can dive. Make sure you're completely rehydrated from your race, as dehydration is a real risk for decompression accidents. It is also recommended that you have a cool-down period of several hours between your dives and any strenuous activity.
You should not, however, run or hike to altitude soon after diving. Stay at sea level at least 12 hours after a single dive or 24 hours after multiday, repetitive diving."
* "Is Creatine Dangerous for Divers?
Q. I have started a weightlifting program and am considering the use of creatine monohydrate as a supplement. I read that it's a "nitrogen-containing substance produced naturally in your body and is found in meat, poultry and fish." The scary words here, obviously, are "nitrogen-containing." Any worries that I'll increase my likelihood for getting bent if I use it?
via email, Ellicott City, Md.
A. Taking nitrogen-containing supplements will not affect your likelihood of developing decompression illness. In order to get bent, a diver has to have gaseous nitrogen in the tissues, and this is obtained from our breathing gas. Decompression sickness occurs when the tissues are saturated with nitrogen at depth and it comes out of solution as bubbles on ascent. The nitrogen in the supplements is molecular nitrogen and is not affected by the pressure changes of depth."
