If a diver was conscious then flat on the back on O2 would be my prefered option. However if the diver was unconscious then aswell as dealing with a bend you have to treat the other symtoms aswell. The recovery position gives the best support to a casualties airway and is easy to monitor their vital signs.
Either way avoid elevating any part of the body unless there is a pressing reason to do so, eg open wounds and serious loss of blood.
