A deep sea diver was left with arms and a chest like Popeye after a fishing accident off the coast of Pisco, in southern Peru.

Alejandro 'Willy' Ramos, 57, was deep sea diving for shellfish four years ago with a colleague and his son when a huge cargo ship cut across his vital air hose.
This was Willy's only source of compressed air and though he was able to swim to the surface, the change in pressure caused irreparable damage to his chest and arms and added 30 kilos to his frame.

He swam up from 100 ft below and it is thought that nitrogen caused the damage to his pectorals and arms.
According to El Nacional , when diver's bodies experience pressure under the sea nitrogen become compressed and is deposited in fatty tissue.

But when they swim back to the surface, the nitrogen expands back into its gaseous form and the bubbles can block the blood, known as decompression syndrome.
But because Willy needed air he did not have time to climb up slowly as divers must do to prevent damage.

The newspaper reported that before the Naval Medical Centre looked at his special case, Willy had been embarrassed to live his home.

The bulky frame he had acquired made him feel uncomfortable in public and lack of funds meant he was unable to seek much treatment.
The father-of-two had to endure aching bones and his chest hissing when he breathed, the Venezuelan daily said.

Willy followed his father into the fishing business at the age of 30 and said that back then divers only had to go down about half the distance that he dove to on the day of the accident.

What the hell?

The colossal swelling to his arm is believed to have been caused by the fast decompression of nitrogen into the blood stream after he swam to air

No need to go to the gym again.

New treatment for people who want to get fat.
Reverse the procedure for people who want to slim down....sense will not kee me.

But shellfish had receded to the deeper waters due to over-fishing and that made things more dangerous.
Willy said he gets depressed about his deformity but thanks God that he is alive.

Doctors told El Nacional that treating the condition is difficult and requires a high-tech oxygen chamber where a higher percentage of oxygen in the air can help to repair the damaged tissue.

Unfortunately the treatment in the hyperbaric chamber became too expensive for Willy who lost his job as a result of his injuries.

As well as the pain he experiences in his arms, he also has difficulty walking and has damaged his hip from walking with the added weight, according to El Comercio.
He told El Nacional: 'The state does not care for us.'

If you've ever worked offshore or on the sea, you'll get to know this.

Divers have one of the riskiest jobs on earth.

They must ascend very slowly to the surface to avoid this and even after getting to the surface, they are kept in a decompression tank/chamber for up to two days to get rid of all the nitrogen in their system. Some even pass out on getting to the surface because the deep sea pressure can crush a human being.

They earn much though.

natural enlargement...

He can now get a job as a bouncer. God works in mysterious ways.

Haaaa. See arms like chicken lap. Nawa o

abeg oh, their should be a way out of the predicament.

Where is his before pictures?

BODY NO BE FIREWOOD.

You mistreat it You see the reaction.

Please show us what he looked like before the accident. Pity

Ok

which kind heading be this?

Popeye

This one don jam mami waterrrr but oyibo no go sabi that one...

Those pple wey dey draw cartoon, always see d future

I don't understand the biochemistry of this processes. Did the cells in his body start multiplying rapidly after they were denied oxygen supply or did the deep sea pressure cause them to multiply and enlarge rather than doing the opposite?

This looks more like a synthol user telling lies. It’s no different from steroid injecting gym goers who claim they only take supplements.
