Abstract

When evaluating an individual planning to scuba-dive, search for conditions that increase the risk of a diving accident. These risks can be categorized as absolute, relative or temporary. An understanding of barotrauma and decompression sickness is essential. The psychologic examination is as important as the determination of physical fitness.
