I think both Rich and John have said it all.

I had a diver with a gross violation of decompression (48 mins) after a 62 msw
dive early last year.  I put her back down to 6 msw for 30 mins on 100% O2 and
then 30 mins at 3 msw on 100% O2.  On arrival at the RCC about 3 hrs after
surfacing from IWR, she had slight neurological DCS.  It did not help when the
Accident & Emergency Section of the hospital with the RCC took her off O2
(that's how we delivered her) for 2 hours after her admission, prior to
transfering her to the RCC.

The lesson we learnt from that was to keep a full face mask handy on all heavy
exposure dives.  

Best wishes
Rob
