Yes! Especially for dives that are longer, or dives that are deeper. The result of a careless ascent could be 'the bends', which is painful, and can be fatal. This is the bubbling or gasification of nitrogen in the blood that happens when pressure is reduced during the ascent. The word Scuba is an anagram based on: self-contained underwater breathing apparatus. SCUBA was invented by Jacques Cousteau.
