What Happens to Your Lungs During Ascent? | IANTD

You’ve probably heard this during your Open Water course:

⚠️ “Never hold your breath while diving.”

But do you know the REAL reason why? 👇

🌊 What happens during ascent?

As you ascend:

• Water pressure decreases
• And the air inside your lungs EXPANDS

It’s basic physics.

The lower the pressure, the greater the volume of air.

🫁 So what’s the danger?

If you hold your breath while ascending, that expanding air becomes trapped inside your lungs.

And that can cause:

⚠️ Lung injuries
⚠️ Ruptured alveoli
⚠️ Arterial gas embolism (serious and potentially fatal)

Even in shallow water.

🧠 Think of it like this:

A balloon rising toward the surface 🎈

The air inside expands.

Your lungs work the same way.

✅ How do you avoid it?

Simple:

• Breathe normally
• Never hold your breath
• Ascend slowly and in control

🎯 Simple takeaway:

During ascent, the air in your lungs EXPANDS.

That’s why in diving:

👉 Never hold your breath.

Continuous breathing.
Controlled ascent.
Safe diving.
