Question

After a long scuba diving session on a caribbean reef, carl boards a plane to dallas. he begins to feel pain in his elbow on the flight back to dallas. what is happening to him?

Answer 1

Based on the scenario, Carl is likely experiencing the bend because of several problems such as;

- Applying boyle’s law because a lot of the gas was being forced on his bloodstream during the dive

- The plane that he’s in is not pressurize to the sea level by which it reduces the atmospheric pressure holding the gas in suspension
