Good question Heads Up. I would risk bringing the unconcious diver to the surface at the correct rate of ascent, get the skipper to radio coastguard regarding deco chamber.
Reasons are:
1. The diver could have had a heart attack, therefore may be dead already. However if the divers condition improves at or near the deco stop, it may be feasable to do stops.
2. Bends can be treated, death can't.
3. Definately not.
It would be interesting to hear responses from others regarding this dilema.
