Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The possibilities offered by this equipment are immense and reduce the constraints of exploration time and depth. More and more divers are seeking to reach depths previously considered unusual or inaccessible in recreational diving, beyond 100 meters. By pushing back these limits, the diver is exposed to new risks which should lead to a reflection on the means of prevention and treatment in case of incident.
The physiological repercussions of these deep dives are not well known. During daily deep excursions in the 90-120 meter zone, there is a significant reduction in vital capacity on leaving the dive, which persists and worsens the following day.
It seems necessary to confirm the importance of this impairment, never documented before, and to explore its mechanisms. A better knowledge of this respiratory impact could allow to improve the prevention and the preliminary evaluation of the medical aptitude of these divers.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Diving arm
The standard arm involves all participants in the study. Subjects will perform pre-dive and post-dive examinations to characterize the respiratory impact of deep water diving
Pre and post dive examinations
Performing pre-dive examinations:
\- EFR by plethysmography cabin
Realization of the examinations the day of the dive:
* Portable Spirometry
* Pulmonary ultrasound
* Cardiac ultrasound
* Measurement of circulating bubbles
* ECG
* Venous blood sampling (biological collection)
* Water balance (Δweight/water intake)
* EFR by plethysmography cabin
* Weight measurement
Realization of the examinations the day after the dive:
* Venous blood sample (biological collection)
* Portable Spirometry
* Pulmonary ultrasound
* Cardiac ultrasound
* Weight measurement
Interventions
