The air that a scuba diver breathes is pressurized to counteract the pressure exerted by surrounding water. Under these conditions, excess amounts of nitrogen dissolves in bodily fluid's, such as blood. If the diver ascends to the surface too rapidly, that excessive nitrogen bubbles out of the bottle he fluids- much like carbon dioxide bubbles out of a soda immediately after it has been opened. This results in a painfully and potentially lethal medical condition known as the bends. Why does a breathing a mixture of helium and oxygen rather than air help divers to avoid getting the bends?

The helium is less soluble in the bodily fluids and so less dissolves for a given pressure. Upon decompression, there is less helium to "bubble out" and cause potential harm.
