I don't advocate the the use of any medications with diving.  Obviously 
the more physiologically trying a dive is or could become, the greater 
the need to avoid extraneous factor that could, at the very least, be

PE works via the cGMP pathway & is an inhibitor of an enzyme 
(GCyclase), to the best of my recollection.
To invoke a contribution to HP oxtox one has to postulate not only that 
PE is neurogenic, that its neurogenicity will potentiate a neurogenic 
oxtox mechanism.  I think we may be in the realm of 'data lacks'.  Love 
that word - conjecture.
 
Will look it up, though, But ...
