No "bends" or lung embolism?

So, Juliet just surfaced from 300 feet deep on a single breath, without decompressing and she showed no signs of the "bends" or a pulmonary embolism?

She had the bends for a few minutes then went underwater again. Her air was cut again, she surfaced was shot with an arrow.

This show is getting ridiculous. Episode 8 and the story has barely started. Juliet has somehow had 3 major life threatening events back to back. Mystery people in an empty silo. What were they eating for 20 something years.

I’m just about done with this show.

Yes. Thanks. I spoke too soon.
I guess the entire season 2 was just a preview for season 3.

There are complex diving tables for diving below 30 feet or so. Also, she had no air regulator. I don't think it would be possible for someone to work for an extensive period underwater by sipping air. It would have been been more realistic with an diving bell type helmet. Also - it would be cold as hell in that water too.

Sad that the audience just has to put up with poor judgement on the part of the author and screenwriter, etc. I'm still liking the show ... and they did do a hail Mary pass with the decompression thing, which was totally unrealistic.

To avoid embolism one just has to breathe out as they are surfacing, which is kind of natural anyway.

I still am watching and enjoig the show for the most part.
