Oops! I just thought I'd clear up any potential confusion that my previous
message may have caused.

A large tidal volume is useful only during the pre- and post-dive periods
... a large intake of oxygen prior to a dive and expiration of large stores
of carbon dioxide upon surfacing again. However, the lungs and air-sacs can
also hold large volumes of respiratory gases during the dive as they slowly
diffuse across the respiratory surfaces in and out of the blood.
