Warm up your body after a dive.<br \/>\n2. Travel by plane.<br \/>\n3. Do not drink alcohol.<br \/>\n4. Exercise.<br \/>\n5. Get a massage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Warm up your body after a dive:<\/strong> getting in the sun&#8217;s rays after diving can accelerate your decompression in all or one area of your body, and that can lead to decompression sickness, so try to warm up slowly.<br \/>\n<strong>2. Travel by plane:<\/strong> If you dive at sea level, try to stay at the same level for at least 24-48 hours so as not to accelerate your body&#8217;s decompression.<br \/>\n<strong>3. Don&#8217;t drink alcohol:<\/strong> Alcohol has an anticoagulant effect and this will affect your decompression in a bad way. It also dehydrates you, which, again, is bad for your body&#8217;s decompression, impairs your movement and judgement, which can lead to signs and symptoms of DCS.<br \/>\n<strong>4. Exercise<\/strong>: after a dive, you should take it easy, no running, no heavy lifting, just take it easy and let decompression occur in your body.<br \/>\n<strong>5. Take a massage:<\/strong> increasing the blood flow in your body right after a dive is a bad thing, maybe you can rub a sore shoulder and stretch a bit, but a full body massage can release a lot of dissolved fluid, gases trapped in your muscle tissues that are now circulating around your system where they really shouldn&#8217;t be.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that your dive, or at least your decompression does not end when you reach the surface, it continues.<br \/>\nIf you want to learn how to dive safely, then I recommend you take the Open Water Diver course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5 things you should not do after diving. 1.
