Amatérské potápění s dýchacím přístrojem se stalo velmi populární zájmovou činností. Potápěči s dýchacími přístroji dosahují někdy i značných hloubek, narůstá tedy i riziko vzniku specifických poškození jejich zdraví. Předložené sdělení poskytuje přehled patofyziologie, klinických aspektů i klasifikace nejzávažnějších poruch zdravotního stavu potápěčů, jakož i souhrn medicínských kontraindikací k potápěčské činnosti.

This article presents a review of the pathohysiology, clinical aspects and classification of the most important diseases encountered in divers, as well as a summary of the medical contraindications to diving as an activity.
