SImply put, increased atmospheric pressure compresses the bubbles in your tissues, thus reducing their surface area. As much of the pathological process is mechanical injury resulting from tearing as the in situ bubbles increase in size, decreasing the surface area may help to both lessen the symptoms and allow for the bubbles to be reabsorbed harmlessly into the tissues, so they can be outgassed later, without bubble formation.
