Scuba diving with compressed air has become a recreational sport that can be performed at all stages of adulthood.

Furthermore, useful recommendations in the assessment of physical fitness for diving are presented. This review will provide a background and foundation for both, an adequate treatment of these diseases and a critical and responsible health education of the diver.
