Just wondering, any of you rebreather divers here ever experienced cotton mouth after diving a rebreather? I sure as hell haven't, but some of my diving buddies said they experienced extreme cotton mouth diving a rebreather than they did using open-circuit SCUBA. Now, I've logged dives using both the MK16 mixed gas and the Draeger LAR 5 100% oxygen closed circuit rebreathers and not once have I ever experienced cotton mouth.
