Short answer: Yes.
1.) OxTox (Bert Effect) due to increased ppO2. -> potential to get convulsions underwater
2.) OxTox (Smith Effect) if exposed to O2 for longer periods of time -> you basically ruin your lung
+ to my understanding:
3.) highly (!) increased probability of BO due to minimal CO2 levels at start of apnea
Just a few thoughts.
