Underwater Diving Accident

An underwater diving accident occurs when a diver experiences injury or health issues while submerged. Common causes include rapid ascent leading to decompression sickness ("the bends"), running out of air, equipment failure, or medical problems like panic or cardiac events. These accidents can result in injuries such as lung damage, drowning, or neurological issues. Proper training, adherence to safety protocols, and careful monitoring of ascent rates and air supply are essential to prevent these accidents and ensure a safe diving experience.
