We report a case of an active-duty diver who developed severe decompression sickness with concomitant patent foramen ovale that was successfully closed contrary to standard guideline recommendations. This case should prompt evaluation of the role of cardiac screening in occupational divers, including tactical athletes, relative to recreational divers.
