What is Decompression Sickness (The Bends)? | A Simplified Explanation!

Спорт

Decompression sickness, also know as the bends, is still one of those things which are least understood by divers. Yes, most divers know the symptoms and treatment but what does actually happen in your body? Despite many articles and video's on the internet I have yet to find an easy understandable explanation so even children would get what happens in your body. So what is the Decompression Theory?

I looked up this topic to begin with, because I was watching a movie on KZread (Dave Not Coming Back) and I wanted to better understand why the dive was so risky and why a 10 minute trip down meant 8 hours on the return....this guy was more like a commercial break than anything else.

    Let ME simplifiy it... When you're diving, nitrogen accumulates in your body. If you ascend too fast, the nitrogen kinda bubbles up your blood and makes stuff work not so well. In short, the bends.

    Even though this video is terrible by numbers and other explanations, the 79 (which is 97 in the video) meaning nitrogen. If you keep breathing underwater, more nitrogen and oxygen come to your body. But your body cannot use nitrogen, only the oxygen. That is why more and more "tourists" can cause problem. You keep using that 21 percent oxygen and nothing from the other part of the compressed air. I hope it helps.
