    Potočnik, Slavko ; Pori, Lucija
    The question whether women should practise diving during pregnancy raised a lot of discussion and contradictory opinions. This article is an attempt to answer this question and is based on our ... knowledge of physics and physiology which are the key to understanding the human ability to function in the underwater world. After studying articles we came to the conclusion that a normal dive to 9 m can neither practically nor theoretically cause decompression sickness in a pregnant woman. Decompression sickness (bubbles inthe tissue) can be caused a quick ascent to the surface, barotrauma of the lungs can damage the lung tissue and the ait comes directly in the arterial blood of the expectant mother. We think that this article will contribute to the enlightment of the problems of diving during pregnancy and when considering suggested safety procedures diving can contribute to good mental and physical condition of expectant woman and her unborn child.
