A variety of reasons exists for carbon dioxide not being expelled completely when the diver exhales : The diver is exhaling into a vessel that does not allow all the CO2 to escape to the environment , such as a long snorkel , full - face diving mask , or diving helmet , and the diver then reinhales from that vesselcausingincreased dead space
