Diving-related Injuries
Diving-related injuries can occur due to various factors, including pressure changes, equipment failure, and improper techniques. Common injuries include decompression sickness, which happens when a diver ascends too quickly, causing nitrogen bubbles to form in the body. Other injuries may involve barotrauma, affecting the lungs or ears due to pressure differences.
Injuries can also result from collisions with underwater objects or marine life. Scuba diving and freediving are popular activities, but divers must be trained and aware of safety protocols to minimize risks. Proper equipment maintenance and adherence to diving guidelines are essential for preventing these injuries.
