Divers Alert Network Dive Tip 🤿: Remember to ascend slowly to reduce your risk of decompression sickness! If you or another diver experiences symptoms of DCS, it's essential to administer emergency oxygen promptly. Contact emergency medical services first, then call the DAN Emergency Hotline for additional support 👉 http://padi.co/n40vbq | PADI

A deep-sea diver must enter a hyperbaric decompression chamber after a dive to prevent or treat decompression sickness, or “the bends.” This condition happens when a diver surfaces too quickly, causing nitrogen bubbles to form in the bloodstream due to rapid pressure changes. These bubbles can lead to serious symptoms like joint pain, dizziness, or even paralysis. The chamber safely re-pressurizes the diver, allowing nitrogen to leave the body gradually while breathing pure oxygen, reducing the

Using 100% oxygen for diving does allow more nitrogen offgassing and therefore a diver (in theory) has less "silent bubbles". A decompression stop is the period a diver must spend at a relatively shallow constant depth during ascent after a dive to safely eliminate absorbed inert gases from the body tissues sufficiently to avoid decompression sickness.
