Going to altitude after diving can be a problem because the change in pressure can cause the nitrogen in the body to expand, leading to decompression sickness or "the bends." This can result in serious health issues such as joint pain, dizziness, and even paralysis. It is important to wait a certain amount of time before going to high altitudes after diving to allow the body to safely release the nitrogen.

Where to fill scuba tanks in UK?

People generally fill cylinders by going to a dive shop or through your club. You can find diving clubs and diving shops in a number of directories or on-line. Some dive centres like the National Diving and Activity Centre also have filling stations. If you have a certified cylinder that is in date, you will find it easy to get a fill. If your cylinder is not in date it may be dangerous to fill. Most clubs have compressors and you will also find there are lots of divers like myself who have their own diving compressor who may be able to help you out.
