Taravana

Taravana, or Taravana syndrome is a disease originally recorded among Polynesian island natives and also found among others who habitually dive deep without breathing apparatus many times in close succession, usually for food or pearls. These free-divers may make 40 to 60 dives a day, each of 30 or 40 metres (100 to 140 feet).
