Sometimes, it can be. I'll post an excerpt from an e-mail I sent Nyx:
I love diving. When I was going through school, the instructor made it sound so dangerous (to dive) that it didn't seem worthwhile. You have all these things that can happen-and be pretty much life threatening. If you don't equalize right, you can screw up your ears (which I might have done), and sinus cavity. If you surface too soon from doing a 60+ dive, you have to be taken to a "chamber" to decompress (to rid your body of excess nitrogen). You can also get nitrogen narcosis, which is like being drunk. It's caused from nitrogen bubbles forming in your blood stream. There is also the possibility of getting vertigo. But normally, on every dive, the group will do a "safety stop" at 15 ft for 3-4 mins. That is to help rid your body of the nitrogen. And after you dive, you can't board an airplane for a while. And then you have your surface interval time (the time you must spend on the surface to rid of nitrogen before you dive again). Oh, and there is also the normal threat of running out of air, and being harmed by the fish, micro organisms, and plants.
But, honestly, if you play it by the book, you'll be fine. You just can't do off and be stupid, you won't get any of the nitrogen stuff. As to the fish, well, there is no need to worry about them. Most of the places you dive at, the fish are used to divers, so they'll just pretend you're not there.

You should just try it. Do a resort dive.
