In eight healthy volunteers--four professional and four amateur divers--in a hyperbaric chamber simulated diving was implemented, corresponding to the most frequently encountered conditions of diving activities in Czechoslovakia. Throughout the trial indicators of haemostasis were investigated. Under the selected model conditions changes of the investigated parameters developed which can be considered indicators of a latent process of disseminated coagulation and the so-called syndrome of silent bubbles.
