A 34-year-old male is brought into the emergency department (ED) by ambulance after having completed a series of deep dives earlier in the day. Approximately 2 hours after his last dive, he began to complain of weakness, shortness of breath, and a persistent headache. According to the EMS report, the patient was well-hydrated during the dive and did not exhibit any signs of distress until after he surfaced.
