Understanding Decompression Sickness For Kids

Understanding Decompression Sickness does not have to be difficult.  While diving (Boyle's Law), we increase the pressure around our bodies.  During the dive (Henry's Law), we absorb nitrogen.  During our ascent (Boyle's Law), pressure decreases and (Henry's Law) the nitrogen comes back out of our body.  Kept in check by using the dive tables and / or a dive computer, we can help prevent the over saturation of nitrogen, and by making slow safe ascents and performing a safety stop at the end of each dive, we can help decrease the risk of over expansion of Nitrogen in our bodies.
