A/W Dr. Friedlander.: The pressures exerted on the body are not high enough to cause dcs. Ecompression sickness (dcs) is also called the bends. When a diver descends in the water- pressure increases. As the diver ascends there is less pressure which allows dissolved gas to form bubbles in body tissues.
