The key to coming towards the surface during scuba diving is to ascend at the right rate and by stopping part of the way up.
What is True?
When breathing compressed air while diving, because of water pressure, the nitrogen absorbed remains in the body’s fatty tissues and blood. However, when the pressure around the diver decreases the nitrogen starts coming out of the tissues back into the blood stream. If the pressure is reduced too quickly, the nitrogen starts forming bubbles in the tissues and bloodstream. The nitrogen bubbles that form in a persons body tissue can collect under the skin or within solid tissues inside the body causing severe pain as they collect near the joints which can be very painful.
