| Decompression sickness is initiated by the formation of gas bubbles in tissue and blood, if the divers return to surface pressure too fast. The effect of exercise before, during, and after dive on bubble formation is still controversial. A new study finds that a mild underwater swimming during a 3-min decompression period reduces post-dive gas bubble formation.
