Not familiar with CPAP at all but I'm on crew out at the Catalina Hyperbaric chamber. If there are any electronics at all we wouldn't be able to take the device inside, to much danger of implosion (In the chambers early days they demonstrated that an ECG will implode quite nicely before reaching the target depth of 165 fsw. The secondary danger would of course be even a minor circuitry spark causing a fire. We compress with air and have the nitrox or oxygen on masks for those inside but at 165 fsw the partial pressure of oxygen is enough that any fire would likely be catastrophic.

27. We DO have standards here! They are just so low that most folks never notice them till they trip.
