sorry for not making that clear

as i tell in my lecture "Bubbles and the oLder diver" heart attacks and AGE are the biggest causes of fatalities in over 40 divers. heart attacks can be controlled by aggresive preventive medicine and exercise AGE can be controlled somewhat but something like a small lung scar or infection can be deadly in an older diver.Ageing adds to the risk of diving and must be compensated for
