Breathing resistance in your delivery system can cause a lot of problems namely CO2 buildup but when you are dealing specifically with pulmonary issues the downward spiral is both breathing resistance and O2 damage will reduce inspiration(not a popular word on this list for other reasons)volume. If your working diver friends are doing dives that require that extensive deco then they should be increasing a constant ventilation at all stops with increased PO2. I doubt that they are using a non-positive pressure hat. BIBS masks in a habitat or chamber should be in excellent condition before starting a dive or treatment. I have never seen any problems attributed to breathing resistance on a BIBS mask. For recreational diving with extended times dont get stingy with your deco regs. One of the few selling points of rebreathers is lack of breathing resistance so you could buy on for deco. Also while the sharpshooters are still busy lock & loading, you could try a positive pressure FFM, Interspiro AGA, EXO-26 etc. Okay their kicking in the door now I only have seconds ... You could mate a Cressi sub FFM with a way overtuned 2nd stage reg and .....AAAHHHHHHHHHH...... THIS IS THE CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER, ISAACS DOMICILE HAS BEEN SEARCHED AND ALL WE FOUND WAS HIS PADI OWSI CARD AND APPROXIMATELY 612LBS OF POSEIDON REBUILD PARTS.
