Interesting article for scuba diving pilots at
https://www.faa.gov/pilots/safety/pilotsafetybrochures/media/dcs.pdf

This event http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20377149


The fact that it is rapid is further concern

Note:  Most of this is about the pilot who also dives.  I know that an
hour at 10,000 feet (3,000m) will give me a deep headache and slowed
response time -- even when I haven't been diving recently.
