It is any illness that is related to a release of pressure from the body such as barotrauma .. baro (pressure) trauma (injury). It includes decompression sickness, but it is not limited to decompression sickness. It is also not limited to diving even though that is what is mostly thought of when discussing decompression illness or DCI.

What is the no decompression limit and how does it affect scuba diving?

The no decompression limit is the maximum amount of time a diver can spend at a certain depth without needing to make decompression stops during ascent. If a diver exceeds this limit, they risk developing decompression sickness, which can be serious or even fatal. It affects scuba diving by setting a safe time limit for dives at specific depths to prevent decompression illness.


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