Common Injuries

Most importantly for divers going to this depth of water, 30 metres is the depth at which symptoms of nitrogen narcosis can occur.

This is a condition that temporarily alters the consciousness, affecting the senses and movements of a Diver and causing them to experience numbness. It can also lead to hallucinations.

Damaged sinuses and ruptured ear drums can be caused by the change in air pressure
Disability or even death, in extreme cases, can be the results of decompression sickness
Oxygen toxicity can cause the diver to have a seizure and drown
Hypothermia, necessitating the use of a wet suit even in mild waters
