The last near drowning in which I was involved was a little girl (not a diver) who was brought up not breathing, but with a faint, fluttery pulse. All she required was to open and clear her airway, administer two initial breaths, and then the standard breath every five seconds for only three cycles...she coughed up water, took some breaths on her own and began crying.
Music to my ears.
For some divers, it may be possible that's all they would need, hence the suggestion to get some air in the lungs. However, it also makes sense to get them on the boat/shore ASAP in order to do a proper job.
