SCUBA LOV

The water sport – Scuba Diving is gaining a lot of popularity. When it comes to staying safe, knowledge is the key. As a scuba diving enthusiast, you must know your abilities, limits and must always be prepared for emergency situations. A common health problem associated with scuba diving is Decompression Sickness (DCS), also referred to as ‘the bends’, ‘Divers Disease’ or ‘Caisson Disease’. In this condition, nitrogen in blood and tissues forms bubbles and block the blood flow. The bubbles are a result of the pressure difference one experiences from one environment to the other. They can form when a person ascends from a high-pressure environment (water) to low a pressure environment (surface). One of the first and most common symptoms is the joint pain (arm or leg). The pain starts mildly and may progress slowly and become severe. Other symptoms of bends in scuba diving are itchy skin, unusual fatigue, dizziness, numbness, and shortness of breath.
