Scuba divers who surface too quickly after a deep dive are prone to decompression sickness.
how does decompression sickness effect the body
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.
