Class 1 / DCS episode
Greetings all - quick search did not lead to any concrete information, so:
Can anyone tell me the extent to which a single episode of DCS (mild case, single chamber ride, no complications) impacts the ability to attain a Class 1 medical, if at all?
MANY thanks in advance!

That's good. Divers get far more delta-P, so are much more likely to feel it long term.

Did it require admission to the hospital, or occur within the last three years? If the answer to both of those is NO, don't worry about it.
If either is yes, FAA 8500 block 18 and/or 19 might apply.
