Rob Stewart, 37, of Toronto, Canada, died while diving in January off the coast of Islamorada, Florida, to film a follow-up to his 2006 documentary "Sharkwater," which examined the impact of shark hunting on the ocean's ecosystem.

They were likely using a heli-oxy mixture and something was wrong with the mixture. Both divers affected. Possibly contaminated.
And on top of that diving to 230 ft three times. Dangerous.
I don’t know about the decompression tables using these exotic mixtures but it sounds dicey.
I went down to 95 ft., once. Did not enjoy it.
