Not only do deep-sea divers risk nitrogen narcosis, often called "raptures of the deep", if they descend below 200 feet, but they also fall prey to decompression sickness, commonly known as the "bends", if they ascend too quickly.

A] Not only do deep-sea divers risk nitrogen narcosis, often called "raptures of the deep", if they descend below 200 feet, but
B] Not only does a deep-sea diver risk nitrogen narcosis, often called "raptures of the deep", if they descend below 200 feet, but

IMO A..If you read the not underlined sentenced, it says,but THEY also fall pray...The red flag here is DOES/DO..So,as the author used THEY ,it should be plural..

I am dicey about A

As I am confused whether to use "but they also"

can we introduce pronoun reference in between 'but' and 'also'

IMO, it's A.

Since the 'they' in both sentences is plural, it's incorrect to speak of 'a diver' as does B. Therefore, A seems to be the better of the two choices.
