The problem results from the specialized equipment that the Navy SEAL divers use, including the oxygen rebreather. The advantage of the rebreather is that there are no bubbles so it's very quiet and helps the SEAL evade detection from the enemy. The disadvantage of the oxygen rebreather is that the high levels of oxygen and the pressure from the undersea environment causes a potential for a seizure. These seizures occur with little or no warning and there is no effective mitigation str...
