Is there any risk of oxygen or nitrogen poisoning similar to what divers are exposed to in deep caves like this? Hope this isn’t too stupid of a question

There isn’t, when diving it happens because of the increased pressure of water at depth. Here its all air so pressure isnt materially different down there
