3. somewhat related (my folks live next to a salt-water tidal river) - i wonder if i could hack a CPAP machine to sit around on a boat or dock and provide safe pumped air via tube for shallow underwater breathing. (figure, 10' or 12' max.) really, it would just be a case of hacking the mask/mouthpiece rather than the cpap itself.
The other thing this is known by is "SNUBA". The CPAP will be too weak. Water's heavy stuff!

How about making yourself a diving bell?
