Those could be contributing factors, but I'd bet that they are conducting
surface supplied air diving operations and limiting bottom time to avoid
extreme exposure dives.  Remember that this is military diving and they
operate by a strict set of rules.  While I do not know that the Canadians
follow the US Navy Diving Manual, you can bet that they operate similarly.  

I understand that the Canadians have requested the assistance of USS
GRAPPLE.  When GRAPPLE arrives, they should have the option of HeO2 diving.
