Peruvian diver swells to double his size due to the bends

A fisherman who suffered a horrible case of the bends after surfacing from a dive too quickly has revealed his now-deformed body as doctors attempt to treat him.

Peruvian Alejandro Ramos Martinez gained nearly five stone in weight as his arms and chest ballooned after he went diving to collect sea creatures from the seafloor.

His nearly fatal error was to rise through the water too fast, causing the nitrogen in his blood to form enormous, grotesque bubbles.

The nitrogen swelled into great sacs and left him suffering from the extreme agony of decompression sickness - also known as the bends.
