BE CAREFUL WITH DECOMPRESSION SYNDROME

  The first of these risks of diving, which we discussed in a previous article, occurs at the time of the diver's ascent: the air you breathe is subjected to great pressure when you dive. That's why, when you go up, nitrogen, which is what oxygen mixes with, forms bubbles in your body. These nitrogen bubbles can pass into the blood (causing strokes), move from where they formed, or stay there. It happens as long as the rise is in a short period of time. To avoid this ailment, it is necessary to carefully respect the decompression stops and their duration. In the case of suffering from decompression syndrome, adequate medical attention will be necessary in a hyperbaric chamber, which reproduces the pressure conditions when submerged in water.

You'll always be in good company

Wherever you dive, you'll always be in good company. 



It's great to hear how other people have experienced this dive and you'll often find yourself sharing yours before and after dive stories. Many friendships have been made during a course or a playful dive, and even marriages have been born from encounters like this! You all share the same passion for the ocean and you feel connected to each other. No matter what you do for a living, what your car looks like or what kind of friends you have, diving makes you feel connected and equal.


Now there are a million more reasons to go diving. What is your reason? Or, if you've never dived before, what's holding you back?
