He skipped all decompression trying to save the son. On the boat during his attempt to revive him him blacked out. There were two others divers with them also unaware of the situation. These divers were also reported as having decompression problems, but refused treatment. This is all I have to date. I will try to get more details as they are released and spend more time posting a more detailed description.
