 Research into the effects of diving on human physiology has been conducted at DDRC since the charity began in 1980. Researchers at DDRC have conducted some very large surveys into diving behaviour and their associated effects on the diver. The results of these studies have been published and are available for download from the download section on this website.
Current diving research projects address the short and long term effects of diving on brain function (which revisits nitrogen narcosis as well as addressing other issues); the general health of divers, and issues surrounding ‘denial’ in relation to decompression illness. These projects are being carried out in collaboration with university academics at the forefront of their research fields.
