The theory behind this is that the hot water will raise your body temperature, thus releasing the gases that are trapped in the soft tissues of the body.(like bubbles in a soda bottle) This is dangerous in large volumes because those gases can form small bubbles in the blood stream. (The Bends / or Decompression illness) The likelihood of a hot shower raising your body temp enough to achieve this is very slim. Divers are really only at risk of this if they ascend from a dive at a high rate of speed. (Don't ascend faster than 1 foot per second!)
