Diver Health Survey score and probability of decompression sickness among occupational dive guides and instructors.

Introduction: This study attempted to correlate self-reported post-dive Diver Health Survey (DHS) scores with computed daily probability of decompression sickness (pDCS) values as a measure of decompression stress in occupational divers in the recreational diving industry.

Methods: Divers completed the DHS form and their dive profiles were recorded electronically. The pDCS for each dive was calculated using the LE1 probabilistic model.
