It is the routine practice in the Space Shuttle to pre-breathe
oxygen and exercise on a bicycle  prior to excursions.  Suit pressure
is about 5psi (approx. 1/3 atm), and DCS was a problem before they
began to de-nitrogenate before the excursions.

In fact, DCS is fairly common in altitude chamber training for pilots.
