An 18-year-old male attends your Emergency Department (ED) with left sided pleuritic chest pain.
He returned from his second day of a beginners SCUBA diving course held in a lake in the UK four hours ago. He developed discomfort following a practice emergency ascent.
He describes mild breathlessness that has developed over the last four hours, but no cough or haemoptysis. He was previously well.
