<![CDATA[Diverse fishermen have a risk of health problems and even threats of disability and death. Problems that are common in diving fishermen are decompression sickness and barotrauma, both of which can cause fatal health problems, so research related to efforts to prevent decompression and barotrauma is important to do. The purpose of this study is to determine the level of knowledge, attitudes, and practices of the fishing community in the Fishermen's Village of Untia Makassar City regarding efforts to prevent decompression and barotrauma. The study was conducted using the cross-sectional study method. The population and sample are fishing communities in Untia Makassar City's Fishermen Village. The findings of a study on the prevention of decompression and barotrauma in the Untia Makassar City Fishermen's Village revealed that fishermen with good knowledge (86%), good attitudes (98%), and good practice (58%), had low rates of decompression and barotrauma. Then, in the attitude variable, we discovered a P-value of 0.003 and 0.040 for the influence of knowledge and practice with the use of breathing aids as an effort to prevent decompression and barotrauma in fishermen in Untia Makassar City's Fishermen Village. This is allegedly true, but there are numerous other factors that can influence fishermen's attitudes, including personal, emotional, and even cultural factors.]]>
