Don’t Get The Bends

If you are planning to go scuba diving, which is very popular in Bora Bora, don’t forget to take the necessary measures to prevent decompression sickness or “the bends” by not flying out too soon after diving, and not ascending too quickly after diving too deep or staying down too long. Otherwise, you may experience common symptoms like fatigue or weakness, itchy skin, pain in the torso or extremities, dizziness or vertigo, numbness, paralysis, and shortness of breath, due to the nitrogen bubbles forming in the blood. This can be a very serious condition which can only be treated by being placed in a recompression chamber to have the nitrogen bubbles reabsorbed.
