It is conceivable that, under some circumstances, shallower recompression depths, or even surface treatment, may achieve a similar degree of success. But, because 18 m recompression is so successful, the burden of proof remains on the side of individuals suggesting a change in therapy. I conclude that the weight of clinical experience and some new insights into pathophysiology suggest that 18 m should remain the preferred depth for treatment of divers until proven otherwise.
