Scuba diver has panic attack and rips off mask 50 feet down

I have a friend who dives regularly, and last year he had an incident where the tank was faulty and had been leaking air, so when he got to depth suddenly he couldn’t breathe, the tank was empty. It’s tough to relax and ascend slowly in that situation. What’s worse: the bends, or passing out from lack of oxygen?
