Abstract
Selected health hazards that amateurs of recreational diving can possibly encounter whilst relaxing in the sea of hot climate area or during stay on the beach near water reservoirs. In the sea environment a threat for health and life can be posed by contact with raptorial and venomous animals (sharks, barracuda, muraena, sea snakes). On the other hand, during recreation on land, a threat can be posed by Hymenoptera insects, spiders and scorpions. Based on available world literature and their own observations, the authors presented dangerous maritime and land fauna, and discussed clinical image and conduct in the case of body injuries.
