　　When a diver is under great pressure, his blood takes in some of the gases he breathes.As he rises to surface, the water pressure becomes less.If the diver rises too quickly, the gases in his blood form bubbles.The diver is then suffering from the bends.The bends can cause a diver to double up in pain.They can even kill him.
