Factors of physical hazard, chemistry, biology, ergonomics, dive depth, duration of rise to surface, use of compressors, length of diving, frequency of diving, length of rest, and appearance of foam when up to the surface showed a significant relationship to the incidence of decompression sickness. Dermatitis shows hazards biological, chemical, and personal hygiene (bathing behavior of clean water twice a day and washing hands and feet with running water) after activity is a related risk factor, and for the occurrence of biological, physical, barotrauma hazard chemical, ergonomic, long diving activity and depth of diving are also closely related to the occurrence of barotrauma on Lumu-lumu Island.
