The deepest I have done one from (my tank valve clogged and I hadn't strapped my pony on for that dive) began at about 75 ft. I had just exhaled when I tried to take another breath and thee was nothing so my lungs were largely evacuated. It happened about 5-6 years ago, and it was very difficult to make the ascent as there wasn't a lot of air in my lungs to expand as I ascended. ...
I completely agree.
Upon finding out that someone has run OOA, they won't have a deep breath of air in their lungs like a freediver would.
Thus the ascent is going to be quite quick.
And therefore the risk of DCS would be quite significant, from any depth deeper than 33 fsw, at least according to Haldane. It depends on how long someone had been down.
