Peek-A-Boo, There Were a Lot of Particles in the Water - Not Ideal for Flash Photography.

Not Sure If This Is Me or Don, But Shortly After Our Dive We Rushed Don to a Local Hospital with a Rare Case of Inner Ear Decompression Sickness.
Don Was Then Airlifted to Toronto Where He Did 3 Additional "Dives" in Their Recompression Chamber.
This Stae-of-the-Art Facility Was The First Square Chamber in North America.
The Facility Was Virtually Brand New, And...
... Was Staffed By 3 Technicians and a Physician Specializing in Recompression Medicine.
Don Slept Most of the Time But Always Had a Technician With Him Monitoring His Progress and Executing the Modified Navy Table 6 Procedure.
There Was Even a LCD TV to Watch Movies, And...
The Pass Through Allowed Them to Receive Whatever Was Necessary During the Treatment.
The Chamber and It's Crews Were Just What Don Needed.
We Took Him to a Hotel After His Second 5 Hour and 20 Minute Treatment, Then...
... Returned Monday for His Third and Final Treatment Before...
... Saying Farewell to the Recompression Chamber Crew at the Toronto General Hospital. Thank You!
