And as suggested in the previous mentioned article in Diver, a diver should be fit enough to run a mile in less than 10 minutes (6.25 min/km).
I think this would be cool.. I always wanted to make one when I was doing macro photography.... a decent bubble diffuser that would rout the exhaust around to the back of your head and then screen them to make them leave as a mist. I know that somewhat describes a 2 hose reg, but it would be cool if you could have an add on to a normal second stage. Even if it increased breathing resistance (exhalation), most macro photography is pretty sedentary, so maybe have it removable during the dive?
What's missing in the commercial recreational dive industry is some proper understanding of the risks in diving. Too many times I hear colleagues tell guests to simply fill out 'no' at all the health questions, instead of asking them to read every question, think about it and answer it correctly. And this is not incidental, I witnessed this in several divecenters.
