It isn't the jumps that hurt you, it is the sudden stops at the end. One bad landing can kill you, and a thousand have no effect. After a few bad landings in a couple of hundred jumps, I broke my back, my pelvis, and at some unknown point, stress fractured both my legs. Most people who have abused their bodies jumping, rucking, etc., get some arthritis, etc. as they age, could be at 35, could be 55, could be never. I really didn't start feeling the arthritis till I was over 40. Now it is significant.
Not a SCUBA guy, but I see no cumulative ill-effects from that in the long term, as long as you don't get bent.
Condolences on your nation's loss, BTW.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
