In any Diving related incident you should administer oxygen whether this is DCI, AGE or near drowning. The only reason you wouldn't is if they have had an oxygen toxicity hit. I suppose that you could possibly confuse DCI with an O2 hit although it should be obvious from the type of diving they have been doing and the gasses used. It is also possible to have an O2 hit and DCI I suppose and this would mean that you would still administer oxygen. If they convulse, let them breathe air until the convulsing stops, then if the DCI symptoms worsen, go back to oxygen.
