Why is it important for a deep sea diver to resurface at a gradual rate?
because bubbles of nitrogen that are abosrbed into the blood at high pressures but are normally insoluble start being released from the blood as the diver rises. If this happens to quickly bubbles in the blood form and the diver gets the bends
What happens when a diver surfaces too quickly?
When a diver surfaces too quickly he gets 'the bends'.As the diver goes down, the pressure causes nitrogen to dissolve in the blood. That's harmless.On the way up the diver must allow time for the nitrogen to come out of the blood slowly. If the diver comes up faster than the recommended timing, the nitrogen gas will form bubbles and block small blood vessels, causing 'the bends' a painful and life threatening condition that is cured by putting the patient in a pressure chamber and bringing the pressure down very, very slowly.
