Re: trachea Squeeze

What depth?
How do you know it was a trachea squeeze? - What were the symptoms?
Has he had a squeeze before?

This is a well documented freediving injury. An advanced course such as F.I.I. Level 2 will teach you what exactly happens, how to prevent it, and what to do it about afterwards. Definitely shouldn't still be freediving immediately after. Since the only way to know the severity of the injury is by doing a specific test 5-10min after the dive occurred - he should wait at least a month to be on the safe side.

Note* I'm not a Doctor.
