dive accidents

Dive accidents refer to incidents that occur during scuba diving or freediving, often resulting in injuries or fatalities. Common causes include rapid ascents, which can lead to decompression sickness (the bends), where nitrogen bubbles form in the blood. Other issues may involve equipment failure, panic, or poor training, which can lead to drowning or insufficient oxygen supply. Environmental factors like strong currents or poor visibility can also contribute to accidents. Staying within training limits, monitoring air levels, and diving with a buddy are essential safety practices to reduce risks while enjoying underwater exploration.
