Very good, Dandy Don. Lamont & SPT29970 you got it right too. My business actually operates the Neutral Buoyancy Lab that Doctor Deco refers to. Astronauts who are being trained for EVAs spend a lot of time in the NBL in scuba (at first), and then in a space suit, rehearsing the EVA procedures they will execute on orbit. In that environment, they under the same pressure in the space suit that all the safety divers experience around them in the pool. There are very careful measures to ensure that while training in the NBL, DCI is not a concern. (Recall that these rehearsals last as long as the planned missions last, sometimes as long as 8 hours underwater.)
As for operations in space, going from a 1 atm environment with 78% or so N2, to a 0.3 atm environment of pure O2, would cause a lot of N2 offgassing if the N2 weren't first eliminated by pre-breathing pure O2.
