   • Drowning. Scuba divers face the very real risk of drowning if their airway becomes obstructed while underwater. As water enters the airway and fill your lungs, you can choke and stop breathing.
   • Decompression sickness. Decompression sickness is another risk that divers could experience. This condition, sometimes known as “the bends,” happens when divers ascend rapidly causing nitrogen bubbles in their blood to expand.
   • Nitrogen narcosis. As divers descend deeper into the water, the increased atmospheric pressure affect their body in various ways. One of the most notable effects is the impairment of cognitive functioning caused by the increased nitrogen levels dissolved in the bloodstream.
   • Oxygen toxicity. Oxygen toxicity occurs when the tissues in the body are exposed to excessive levels of oxygen, often a result of breathing gas under high pressure while diving.

   • Decompression Sickness. Developing decompression sickness (DCS), or the bends, is one of the most common scuba diving health risks. The term is used to describe an illness that results from a rapid decrease in the pressure surrounding you.
   • Nitrogen Narcosis. Nitrogen narcosis, or inert gas narcosis/ rapture of the deep/Martini effect, is a temporary condition that affects deep-sea divers that swim past 100 feet (30 meters).
   • Barotrauma. Barotrauma is also among the common health risks scuba diving, and it is caused by the increased underwater pressure. There are different types of barotrauma, including sinus, teeth, and lung barotrauma, but the most common kind experienced by divers is middle-ear (otic) barotrauma.
   • Oxygen Toxicity. Although not among the most common scuba diving risks, oxygen toxicity is a medical condition that can have serious negative effects on the body.
