How dangerous it is

If a diver follows the basic safety rules provided during the course of their entry-level training, then there's little that can go wrong for them. Accidents only tend to happen when divers become complacent or arrogant enough to ignore the basic safety recommendations - or if they allow their core skills to perish through inattention and lack of practice.

Here we’ve got the most common risks of scuba diving, and tips to avoid them Malfunctioning Equipment - if you’re not using your own equipment, be sure to check the one you’re using before diving. Faulty equipment can put your life in danger. Nitrogen Narcosis - Nitrogen is toxic to the body and diving too deep can cause the body to absorb certain amounts of this substance. Extra nitrogen in the body can cause narcotic effects. Oxygen Toxicity - A problem for below 135 meters deep divers. For most divers, this is not a problem but at extreme depths, so much extra oxygen is absorbed which is toxic to the body.
