What is decompression illness?
It is any illness that is related to a release of pressure from the body such as barotrauma .. baro (pressure) trauma (injury). It includes decompression sickness, but it is not limited to decompression sickness. It is also not limited to diving even though that is what is mostly thought of when discussing decompression illness or DCI.

What is the no decompression limit and how does it affect scuba diving?
The no decompression limit is the maximum amount of time a diver can spend at a certain depth without needing to make decompression stops during ascent. If a diver exceeds this limit, they risk developing decompression sickness, which can be serious or even fatal. It affects scuba diving by setting a safe time limit for dives at specific depths to prevent decompression illness.
What are the factors that determine the no decompression limits for scuba divers?
The factors that determine the no decompression limits for scuba divers include the depth of the dive, the time spent at that depth, the diver's previous dives, and the breathing gas mixture used. These factors affect the amount of nitrogen absorbed by the body and the risk of decompression sickness.
What is a no stop limit in diving and how does it affect a diver's decompression requirements?
A no-stop limit in diving is the maximum amount of time a diver can stay at a certain depth without needing to make decompression stops during ascent. If a diver exceeds the no-stop limit, they will need to make decompression stops during their ascent to safely release built-up nitrogen from their body. This can affect a diver's decompression requirements by increasing the amount of time needed to safely ascend to the surface and reducing the risk of decompression sickness.
