Lungs can rupture due to a buildup of pressure and the ost common cause of this is holding your breath when ascending. Due to Boyle's law, as the pressure decreases when you ascend, the volume increases. And if you do not exhale, the lungs will increase in volum to a point where one might rupture.

What is SCUBA health insurance?

Scuba health insurance is the insurance that protects you while you are scuba diving if you need any health procedures because of your diving. For example, if you were to get the bends from scuba diving, or if your lung were to rupture from holding your breath, this scuba insurance would cover it. Since paying for these procedures are very expensive "out of pocket," this means that you might not get the treatment unless you have this, or at least you could not pay it off.
