Official Title: High Intensity Cycling Before SCUBA Diving Reduces Post-decompression Microparticle Production and Neutrophil Activation

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of high intensity,anaerobic exercise, in the form of cycling, on SCUBA diving. Outcomes are determined by the quantification and subtype of circulating microparticles, complete blood counts, and the quantification of venous gas emboli, measured via transthoracic echocardiography, in the cardiac cavities.

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: University Hospital of Split

Current Primary Outcome: Change from baseline values of number of circulating microparticles per microliter of blood [ Time Frame: Prior to exercise, prior to diving, 15 and 120 minutes after surfacing ]

Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome:
