DCS (Decompression Sickness) awareness campaigns

Decompression Sickness (DCS), also known as "the bends," occurs when divers ascend too quickly, causing dissolved nitrogen in the body to form bubbles. DCS awareness campaigns educate divers and their support teams about safe diving practices, recognizing symptoms like joint pain, dizziness, or fatigue, and promoting proper decompression procedures. These campaigns aim to prevent injuries by encouraging adherence to dive tables, gradual ascents, and the use of safety stops, ultimately reducing the risk of serious health complications associated with rapid nitrogen release after deep or prolonged dives.
