Dangers

1. Decompression sickness (the Bends) - caused by surfacing too rapidly for excess nitrogen in your blood to be eliminated by breathing.
The result is bubbles that expand and damage body tissue or cause pain.
Divers learn to surface slowly and when to make necessary decompression stops.
2. Nitrogen narcosis (different than decompression sickness) - at depths, nitrogen is forced into the blood stream and has an anesthetic quality that impairs judgment and may cause the diver to become unconscious.
The depth that narcosis occurs depends on the experience of the diver and the length of the dive.
