The deepest depth that can be dived to (on air) and saturate and then surface without getting decompression sickness in general is about 20 feet (6 meters). This is known as the Minimum Bends Depth. Any depth greater than this depth can result in decompression sickness depending on the time underwater.

What is the term for rising or ascending too fast while diving?

It might be called "the benz,"but there are several different kinds......AdditionA very rapid pressure loss is known as explosive decompression.

What is Explosive decompression?

Since aircraft commonly cruise at altitudes up to 35,000 feet (and higher), where the air is nearly unbreathable many modern aircraft pressurize the atmosphere inside the cabin in order to maintain an adequate oxygen supply and comfortable environment for the crew and passengers. If the cabin is punctured in some way, or a seal fails, all this pressure rapidly vents out of the aircraft until air pressure inside the cabin equalizes with that outside. This is called rapid decompression.
