I think you might want to install a CO detector in your home.  This may be this 
issue.

      Of course the oxygen level would get worse with people breathing and no 
air flow.  However it's now a moot point since there will not likely be any 
more dives from that location in the foreseeable future.

     It couldn't be too tiny if you want to lower diving gear!   But drilling 
even a small shaft to provide air would be way too expensive.   It would be 
simpler to just bring an extra tank for the sherpas to take an occasional 
breath from.  If you did drill a shaft, you wouldn't have to pump air in, 
because the shaft itself would cause airflow that would keep the air fresh.
