Is it possible for an unconscious diver to be breathing and not have a heartbeat.If so how long can they breathe. It would seem that if they can breathe, oxygen is entering the blood but is not being sent to the brain so is the victim receiving any benefit from this oxygen.

Never say never but not likely. To have no Palpable pulse yes easy to do in some situations. PEA and breathing but not likely and not for long. I guess most likely situation would be Hypothermia. In the perfect world a dive boat would have a DMO/DMT, life Pac 12 and a chamber but that would not happen except in the US Navy
