When a diver is under great pressure, his blood takes in some of the gases he breathes.As he rises to surface, the water pressure becomes less.If the diver rises too quickly to the water surface, the gases in his blood will not disappear, instead, they form bubbles.The diver is then likely to be suffering from the bends (潜水员病)．The bends can cause a diver to double up in pain.If the diver does not take certain measures to protect himself, they can even kill him. 1．On the whole, this passage is about________.
