There are several risk factors that can affect your susceptibility to DCS. Such risk
factors vary between divers, as well as from one day to another.
The personal risk factors which tend to increase the possibility of DCS include:
• Exposure to low temperature – water temperature less than 20 °C (68 °F)
• Below average physical fitness level
• Fatigue
• Dehydration
• Stress
• Obesity
• Patent foramen ovale (PFO)
• Exercise before or after dive

recommended that you use this option to make the calculations more conservative.

planning data.
