We often see videos of scuba diving in television . Scuba diving allows us to
experience the sea life .
But scuba diving comes with pressure injuries . We can be injured if our body don't
get adjusted to the increasing and decreasing pressure of water . Because when
scuba diving , we breathe compressed air .
This compressed air what scuba divers breathing contains nitrogen gas . At higher
pressure under the water , this nitrogen gas goes into the body's tissues . This
phenomena doesn't cause a problem till the scuba diver is under water .
If the scuba diver raises quickly to the surface , then this nitrogen gas forms
bubbles in the body . This can cause tissue and nerve damage .
To prevent this , a scuba diver must give enough time for the nitrogen gas to go
out of the body through lungs .
Build-up of large amount of nitrogen in brain can make a person to get confused
and acts as though he is been drinking alcohol . Nitrogen gas may pose a threat
to life if it is not gone through the body completely .
