Would gas still appear in your joints if you took an open diving bell?
I’m picturing those diving bells with the open moon pool in the bottom, pressurized interior. If you sat in one of those and went way way down, not deep enough to crush you, but deep enough that by ascending/descending would cause you bends, would A) you still develop issues within the bell descending at a constant pace, and B) what would happen if you exited the dive bell? Would your body only have the issue of unaccustomed pressure, or would the issues of gas in your joints still develop?
I’m not a diver, I watch Mission Impossible and Jaws for my diving education.
