Deep sea divers were also suffering from decompression sickness. Rising slowly to the surface was helpful, but it turns out that diving is more complicated than working in a caisson. Divers go up and down to different depths, and they stay there for various lengths of time. Divers needed better information so they would not get “the bends.” Before we look at how scientists helped divers avoid getting sick, let’s understand why the bubbles form in a diver’s blood. Think of a bottle of soda pop. Before it is opened, there is no sign of bubbles. As soon as the bottle is opened, though, bubbles suddenly appear. In fact, they can foam all over the place. That is because there is a gas, carbon dioxide, dissolved inside the liquid soda. The soda in the closed bottle is under pressure. When a liquid is under pressure, it can dissolve more gas than when it is not under pressure. As soon as you open a bottle, there is less pressure inside it, and it cannot dissolve as much gas. That makes gas bubbles form as the gas tries to expand. This same process is what happened when a bubble formed in the eye of the snake in Robert Boyle’s bell jar. It is also what happened to the workers in the caissons.
