=== Onset === Although onset of DCS can occur rapidly after a dive, in more than half of all cases symptoms do not begin to appear for at least an hour. In extreme cases, symptoms may occur before the dive has been completed. The [[U.S. Navy]] and [[Technical Diving International]], a leading technical diver training organization, have published a table that documents time to onset of first symptoms. The table does not differentiate between types of DCS, or types of symptom.{{r|usn520-3.1 | TdiDpm}} {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;" |+ Onset of DCS symptoms |- ! scope="col" | Time to onset ! scope="col" | Percentage of cases |- ! scope="row" | within 1 hour | 42% |- ! scope="row" | within 3 hours | 60% |- ! scope="row" | within 8 hours | 83% |- ! scope="row" | within 24 hours | 98% |- ! scope="row" | within 48 hours | 100% |}
