Identifying types of sentences. Determine whether each sentence is simple, compound or complex.
One of the sports that can be classified as extreme is free diving.
Participants hold their breath and dive hundreds of feet straight down in the ocean.Deep below the ocean, water pressure squeezes the internal organs of divers, and darkness blinds them. The return to the surface can kill a diver if he or she comes up too fast.The sudden expansion of gases causes explosions in arteries.

“Variable- weight” and “constant- weight” free diving are approved methods.Slide5
