Gas embolism occurs independent of diving depth; it may occur in as little as 6 ft of water. It is frequently caused by a diver holding his breath during ascent. It may also result from an airway obstruction or other condition that prevents.

Gas embolisms can be caused by diving accidents where high-pressure gas bubbles are introduced into the bloodstream, medical procedures that involve the use of gas-producing substances entering the blood vessels, and traumatic injuries or surgeries that allow air to enter the circulatory system.
