Divers should drink plenty of fluids to help prevent the bends

The island's Hyperbaric Medical Facility treats about 30 divers a year for decompression sickness - commonly known as the bends.

But according to hyperbaracist David Downie, the department has treated seven divers in the past fortnight.

He believes the recent warm weather has encouraged more divers into the sea.

"The Isle of Man has fantastic, crystal clear waters, and the recent good weather has led to divers flocking to the coast to explore it," he said.

"Unfortunately some divers tend to overdo it - they do too many dives within a limited period of time and push themselves to the limit.
