| Bends can be due to many reasons.
1) Sometimes people make mistakes
2) Sometimes there is an unknown reason (PFO, dehydrated, seasickness drugs)
3) Sometimes you're just unlucky!
If you're unsure, talk to a diving doctor. Either way, I would take it slowly at first, start shallow, and build up your confidence.
And remember: It's meant to be fun!
