Vitamins C and E improve divers health

Although this is not the first time we have heard of this a new study by scientists from Croatia and Norway say vitamins C and E, which work as antioxidants can reduce the ill-effects of scuba diving on divers circulation.
The study found the vitamins stopped the ill effects of the dive on the cells lining blood vessels, which can lead to high blood pressure and other associated diving problems. But other diving experts have said the vitamins would have a limited impact on the divers health. More details on the study which was published in the 'The Journal of Physiology' can be found at: http://jp.physoc.org/cgi/content/abstract/578/3/859
