Trong một số trường hợp nhất định, cơ thể con người phải đối phó với các khí ở áp suất khí quyển lớn hơn bình thường. Chẳng hạn, áp suất khí tăng lên nhanh chóng trong khi lặn bằng thiết bị lặn bởi vì thiết bị thở cho phép thợ lặn ở dưới nước lâu hơn và lặn sâu hơn. Áp lực tác động lên cơ thể con người tăng lên 1 atmôtfe cho mỗi 10 mét chiều sâu trong nước biển, do đó ở 39 mét trong nước biển thợ lặn phải chịu áp lực khoảng 4 atmôtfe. Do đó tất cả các khí trong không khí hít thở của một thợ lặn bình thường ở độ cao 40 mét phải ở mức gấp năm lần áp suất thông thường của chúng. Nitơ, chiếm 80% không khí chúng ta hít vào, thường tạo ra cảm giác thoải mái khi chịu áp lực này. Ở độ sâu 5 ô, nitơ gây ra các triệu chứng giống như say rượu, được gọi là nhiễm độc nitơ. Nôn mửa nitơ dường như là kết quả từ một ảnh hưởng trực tiếp đến bộ não của một lượng lớn nitơ hòa tan trong máu. Những thợ lặn sâu thường ít nguy hiểm hơn nếu khi Heli được thay thế cho khí Nitơ, bởi vì dưới áp lực, khí heli không gây ra tác dụng gây mê tương tự.
Khi một thợ lặn lặn xuống, áp lực của nitơ lên phổi tăng lên. Nitơ sau đó phân tán từ phổi sang máu, và từ máu đến các mô cơ thể. Quá trình ngược lại xảy ra khi các thợ lặn trở lên mặt nước, áp suất nitơ trong phổi hạ xuống và nitơ khuếch tán từ mô vào máu, và từ máu vào phổi . Nếu như quay trở lại mặt nước quá nhanh, khí ni tơ trong các mô và máu không thể khuếch tán ra ngoài đủ nhanh chóng và bóng khí ni tơ sẽ hình thành. Nếu như quay trở lại mặt nước quá nhanh, khí ni tơ trong các mô và máu không thể khuếch tan ra ngoài đủ nhanh chóng và bóng khí ni tơ sẽ hình thành. Chúng sẽ gây ra những cơn đau khủng khiếp, đặc biệt là xung quanh các khớp xương.
Một biến chứng khác có thể xảy ra nếu hơi thở được giữ trong quá trình trở lên mặt nước. Trong quá trình nồi lên từ độ sâu 10 mét, lượng không khí trong phổi sẽ tăng lên gấp đôi vì áp lực khí tại bề mặt nước chỉ còn 1 nửa so với ở độ sâu 10 mét. Sự thay đổi về lượng khí có thể làm phổi sưng phồng, thậm chí là vỡ nát. Hiện tượng này gọi là thuyên tắc hơi.
Để tránh sự hiện tượng này, một thợ lặn phải đi nổi lên thật chậm, không bao giờ ở tốc độ vượt quá sự nổi lên của bong bóng khí thở ra, và phải thở ra khi lên.

Music can bring us to tears or to our feet, drive us into battle or lull us to sleep. Music is indeed remarkable in its power over all humankind, and perhaps for that very reason, no human culture on earth has ever lived without it. From discoveries made in France and Slovenia, even Neanderthal man, as long as 53,000 years ago, had developed surprisingly sophisticated, sweet-sounding flutes carved from animal bones. It is perhaps then, no accident that music should strike such a chord with the limbic system – an ancient part of our brain, evolutionarily speaking, and one that we share with much of the animal kingdom. Some researchers even propose that music came into this world long before the human race ever did. For example, the fact that whale and human music have so much in common even though our evolutionary paths have not intersected for nearly 60 million years suggests that music may predate humans. They assert that rather than being the inventors of music, we are latecomers to the musical scene.
Humpback whale composers employ many of the same tricks that human songwriters do. In addition to using similar rhythms, humpbacks keep musical phrases to a few seconds, creating themes out of several phrases before singing the next one. Whale songs in general are no longer than symphony movements, perhaps because they have a similar attention span. Even though they can sing over a range of seven octaves, the whales typically sing in key, spreading adjacent notes no farther apart than a scale. They mix percussive and pure tones in pretty much the same ratios as human composers – and follow their ABA form, in which a theme is presented, elaborated on and then revisited in a slightly modified form. Perhaps most amazing, humpback whale songs include repeating refrains that rhyme. It has been suggested that whales might use rhymes for exactly the same reasons that we do: as devices to help them remember. Whale songs can also be rather catchy. When a few humpbacks from the Indian Ocean strayed into the Pacific, some of the whales they met there quickly changed their tunes – singing the new whales’ songs within three short years. Some scientists are even tempted to speculate that a universal music awaits discovery.
