The authors discuss the effect of reduced pressure at the final decompression station on nitrogen excretion from the organism of a diver. The assumed basis for the said considerations was the course of decompression during dives performed in lakes located at a significant altitude above sea level and diver transportation by plane following dive completion. Based on the presented calculations the authors conclude that air transport can take place only upon the lapse of time calculated with regard to the diving conditions and the expected altitude of the flight. Diving in mountain lakes requires proper consideration of the effects of the decreased atmospheric pressure.
