Closed-circuit rebreather diving is becoming more common. Rebreathers are complicated, adding to the stress of diving. Also adding to this complexity in the presented case is diving at a high-altitude, cold-water reservoir in Colorado. One diver experienced an oxygen-induced seizure at depth. The other diver had a rapid ascent with loss of consciousness. In this case, two experienced divers recovered from a possible devastating dive. Fortunately, they both returned to their pre-dive baseline health. Dive plan- ning is important, but as in this case, dive execution is paramount. This is a clinical case for an uncommon event presenting to an emergency department.
