It has to do with the change in pressure on the body. The Bends happen when the body experiences a quick decrease in pressure. We mostly associate The Bends with a diver ascending too quickly from a deep depth back to the surface. But "decompression sickness", as it is more formally called, can happen from changes in altitude, too, or even after exiting mines and going back to the surface.

What decompression sickness do scuba divers suffer from?
It is called "The Bends"
What are other names for the bends?
Decompression sickness (DCS) is the medical condition also called divers' disease, the bends, or caisson disease.
What chamber do divers go into to prevent a diving sickness called The Bends?
Hyperbaric Chamber
The bends also known as decompression sickness is as painful condidtion that occurs in scuba divers who asend too quickly.?
If you wanted to know if this is true, then yes, this is the Bends.
What gas is most directly responsible for the bends or decompression sickness that divers may experience?
Nitrogen gas is the most directly responsible for the bends, also known as decompression sickness, in divers. The bends occur when nitrogen that has been absorbed by tissues during a dive forms bubbles as the diver ascends too quickly, causing pain and potentially serious health effects.
Why isn't it a good idea for divers travelling by air straight after a deep dive?
So they dont get the bends and the co2 levels in the body have time to equalize.
What helps breathe under water?
Divers carry with them tanks containing air in them. The air present in these tanks has different composition from the normal air. It has 32% oxygen, 56% Nitrogen and 12% Helium. It is done so as to avoid creation of bends inside the body of divers when they come out of water.

Why scuba divers stop diving?
There are many reasons for stopping a dive. If you're running low on air, dangerous water conditions, cramps are also common on dives as well as the bends.
