Well if you stay above 30 ft, you won't get bent, but you can blow a lung in less than 10 ft of water. Knew a guy in college who was scuba diving in a pool and thought the air would last longer if he held his breath instead of breathing regularly. Everything was fine until he surfaced from the bottom while holding his breath. He popped a lung and had a big air bubble under the skin by his collar bone. He wasn't certified and I guess nobody had told him about embolism. Ouch!
