Abstract
Scuba diving is widely practiced in Switzerland. Although rare, decompression sickness may be serious and require specialized treatment. Hyperbaric therapy has been used for a long time with beneficial effects on decompression sickness and gaseous embolism. Conversely, barotrauma does not require recompressive therapy.
