 This is the best. She must have been diving "Devil's Eye", or Devils Den. This 
is not unusual. In fact this happens all of the time. Look at what has
happended 
to other who dive at this location. Soon they are displaying a demonic
pssession 
of shitty gear, transformer packs, oand other horrible strokery. 

 Seriously,  the other thing is that if you dive deep on air, the odds of brain 
damage are high, especially with any PFO, and that is likely what has happened 
to your friend. Get a MRI brain scan , and see if there are lesions. - G
