Decompression Sickness-A common illness to scuba divers

Scuba diving undeniably is a great endeavor that anyone would love to do. However, while getting into such a lovely endeavor can be fun, it welcomes danger at the same time. Scuba divers often face the decompression Sickness. This happens because while diving, the divers have to encounter tremendous pressure of water around them. So, the nitrogen absorbed by the body tissues forms bubbles at the time of a quick ascent. This further causes decompression Sickness. Some of the common symptoms of illness are stomach sickness, severe headaches, red rashes on the skin etc.
