Hope all's well with him!
Aquasport Weymouth?
If so yes it was, and he seems ok now thanks.

He's out of hospital now and was able to contact his buddy yesterday to tell him so, but did not come down the club so I have not been able to talk to him first hand, I got the report from his buddy.

Glad to hear he's ok ... when we saw him Sunday morning he was conscious and sitting in the back of the ambulance breathing O2.

He had a blood O2 level of 7, it's supposed to be 10, but I don't know what the units are or whether it's a comparitive thing.
This did not rise after prolonged pure O2 breathing.

This seems to be a very serious incident, I don't know if the fact that it kicked in on the surface is a similar mechanism to latent hypoxia or whether it could have happened underwater had the dive been longer.

I think I'll be checking all my mouthpieces etc. as the only time I've had anything like this myself, it was a big enough leak for me to have a wet breathe and swap regs.
