Hi Guss,
your question made me recall an incident where a spearo developed a CNS hit after competing in the an international competition held in SA. He was treated by Dr Van Niekerk who gave these pointers:
"An objective guideline would be to ensure that the total dive time does not exceed the no-decompression limits for compressed-air diving, even though it is known that repeated ascents while diving with compressed air increases the risk of developing the bends. Adequate hydration - the intake of 250 to 300 milliliters of fluid every hour - should be mandatory. Overall better record keeping of dive profiles by surface support personnel will lead to a better understanding of the problem and its scope" This incident is also documented in Terry Maas' "Bluewater Hunting and Freediving".
