Henry's law is one of the gas laws, stating that the amount a gas dissolves in a given type and volume of liquid is proportional to the partial pressure of that gas. As pressure builds, more nitrogen and oxygen gets absorbed by the blood in the body, and it tends to get absorbed faster than it gets released, meaning that when you resurface and the pressure declines, the gas in the blood is still increased.
