title: Common hazards of sports diving.
abstract: The rapidly increasing diver population may result in any physician being involved in the evaluation and treatment of injuries and disease from skin and scuba diving. The majority of treatments are symptomatic, but pulmonary embolism and decompression sickness are specific emergencies that require immediate recompression. Physicians should know the site of the nearest recompression chamber.
