Objective:: analyze social representations in the life trajectory of artisanal fishermen with spinal cord injury caused by diving on the north coast of Rio Grande do Norte.
Method:: a descriptive, qualitative study was conducted with 31 fishermen between October 2013 and August 2014, using a semi-structured interview. A lexicographic analysis and descending hierarchical classification of texts were performed (with software ALCESTE), in the perspective of the social representations.
Results:: social representations of fishermen with spinal cord injury presented experiences with physical limitations and expectations regarding retirement, which appeared as a distant reality from the requirements in Brazilian labor laws.
Conclusion:: measures are required for the promotion, prevention and rehabilitation of the health of fishermen with spinal cord injury, as well as safe and decent fishing conditions, with the commitment of health authorities.

Artisanal fishermen around the world employ scuba and surface-supplied diving for their livelihoods and often undergo provocative dive profiles due to economic pressures. Consequently, rates of decompression sickness (DCS) are much greater than in recreational scuba divers. Here we present the case of a surface-supplied diving fisherman from the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico, who suffered a significant episode of spinal DCS and underwent hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatments, with a favorable outcome.

Article Synopsis
- The study found that diving fishermen in the Yucatán Peninsula face a higher risk of decompression sickness (DCS) compared to other divers, primarily due to their focus on harvesting high-value species like sea cucumbers.
- A review of 233 treatments for DCS among 166 fishermen from 2014 to 2016 revealed that most had a history of DCS, with musculoskeletal pain being the most common symptom.
- The research suggests that understanding the fishing practices and motivations of these divers could help reduce health risks and inform regulations related to diving safety.
