Rapid decompression led to a rapid descent to an altitude appropriate for loss of pressurization. The landing was uneventful.
A loss of pressurization while in a climb required the flight crew to initiate a rapid descent to avoid the need for supplemental oxygen. The crew coordinated intentions with ZZZ Center and leveled at 12;000 ft. MSL. We proceeded to the nearest suitable airport to assess the situation and have Maintenance fix the problem. Once it was fixed; we continued to our original destination.
Citation flight crew reported experiencing loss of pressurization during en-route climb.
