How does decompression make someone sick?

The expanding gas creates bubbles in the blood that can block the flow of oxygen.

Decompression presses on the diver’s stomach and makes him or her feel sick.

Decompression makes dangerous gasses dissolve more completely in the
bloodstream.

When gasses in the blood decompress they make the blood thinner, which makes the diver dizzy.
