Dan: pure oxygen is used by the udt for shallow diving with no bubbles or
sound. The problem is oxygen dissolves in the fluid of blood at pressures
above 1atm and the co2  is not released from the blood. At 2 atm (33 ft) the
co2 release is completely stopped and you suffocate. The oxygen is not toxic
the co2 build up is the problem as the hemoglobin in your blood will not
release co2.. The Munsen diving rigs today still use pure oxygen for
clandestine shallow operations.     Robert   H
