I read the book diving into darkness. Don did a dive to 250 meters to help his dive buddy Dave Shaw. They were recovering a body. The dive was in a sinkhole called Bushman's hole. He got bent at 150 meters. It got his ear so he got vertigo. He got nausea and did 12 hours of decompressing while vomitting.

Don is a legend from what i have read about him in the book, just a shame im so far away.
