Explanation

SCUBA diving carries several physiological risks due to the underwater environment and pressure changes. Salt water aspiration syndrome occurs when fine salt water mist is inhaled, hypoxia is a lack of adequate oxygen supply, and hypothermia can result from prolonged exposure to cold water. Therefore, all of these conditions are potential medical issues for divers.
