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. B.L.
