SANTA RITA, Guam (22 Sep 2005) -- A Japanese man who got the bends diving at Blue Hole is expected to fully recover after being treated by US Navy personnel.

The Navy responded to an emergency call after the Japanese tourist diver ascended at Blue Hole with symptoms of decompression sickness.

"He was really weak and unable to walk," Lt. Cmdr. Stephen Fisher, the duty dive medical officer of the day, was quoted as saying in a news release. "He wasn't very verbal and he appeared to have altered mental status."

The injured male diver was treated in a Navy recompression chamber for six hours.
