So is this possible? Any ideas what files would need to be edited?

I really shouldn't read, it makes me think and gets me into trouble every time.

Here is a link to what i am talking about...

I know exactly what you are referring to. The CO2 absorbent is called Lithium Hydroxide (LiOH). Now as far as the game is concerned i don't think it's possible IMO. I think the game sees it as something that is on or off, if on can only be reduced by surfacing. This is probably the same reason why the snorkel doesn't work in game either.
