I was diving last week with a friend, and had mostly the same dive profile as he did, 88deg water, 60-70feet, normal ascent rates, 3-4 minute safety stop, plenty of air left. After the dive, he tried to climb back on the boat, and lost strength to his body, then became confused and partially paralysed. He was pulled into the boat after gear removal, supplied with oxygen for about ten-fifteen minutes, and made a full recovery. Medics examined him on shore, and could not find a problem. Two day surface interval, and he tried again. Dive went well, after surfacing, got on boat, shortly after standing to get water, his right side lost strength in hand and leg and again took about ten minutes to full recovery.
Hospital stay performed EKG, CAT and blood work without tracking down cause.
Has anyone come across something like this previously? Diver is around 50, and in fit shape otherwise.
