Never, repeat, NEVER use a compressor like this to provide breathing
air, especially for use under water with SCUBA. Carbon monoxide is a
common constituent of the output and under pressure is much more
dangerous. CO toxicity rapidly increases with depth and can easily
overcome the breather at even shallow depths. For breathing use all air
should be compressed by a breathable air compressor, using only a non
mineral oil for lubrication. You will become a diving fatality if you
persist.

Remember dead is forever, or you might be lucky and only kill part of
your brain.
