AB  - Millions  of  recreational,  commercial,  and  scientific  dives  are  logged  annually,  and  the  vast  majority  of  dives  are  completed  without  incident.  However,  there  are  physiologic  effects  and  injuries  relatively  unique  to  the  underwater  environment.  Generally,  these  effects  and  injuries  are  secondary  to  pressure  changes  on  the  submerged  human  body  and  the  breathing  of  compressed  gas.1  This  chapter  outlines  the  most  common  diving  injuries:  barotrauma  of  descent  (otic,  sinus,  and  pulmonary),  barotrauma  of  ascent  (pulmonary  overinflation  syndromes  and  arterial  gas  embolism),  decompression  sickness,  immersion  pulmonary  edema,  oxygen  toxicity,  and  nitrogen  narcosis.
