Scuba diving is an occupation with a still growing expansion. Like every sport it has its own specific pathologies. Some accidents can be very serious and life-threatening. We discuss the 3 main groups of accidents: barotraumatism, gas toxicity and accidents related to aquatic environment. The knowledge of the mechanisms underlying these accidents leads to a less risky approach of scuba diving.
