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.
