In a diving emergency a number of specific conditions are possible in addition to those which would ordinarily be considered in a life-threatening situation. There are many separate factors which, underwater, can lead by some unfortunate combination of circumstances towards death usually, but not always, by drowning. The other major category of accidents are those resulting from the ascent of the diver to the surface. These must be considered as medical emergencies and the majority respond to immediate recompression. In the absence of readily available recompression facilities,various measures may ameliorate the condition pending transfer to a suitable compression chamber.
在潜水紧急情况中，除了通常在危及生命的情况下会考虑的那些情况外，还可能出现一些特定状况。有许多单独的因素，在水下，由于某些不幸的情况组合，通常（但并非总是）会导致溺水死亡。另一类主要事故是潜水员上升到水面时发生的事故。这些必须被视为医疗紧急情况，并且大多数情况需要立即进行再加压治疗。在没有现成的再加压设备的情况下，在转移到合适的加压舱之前，各种措施可能会改善病情。
