Answer
Steve,
I was able to find a little bit of info. There is something called a Larchel Watertherapy & Breathing Device that I found:

You may also be interested in looking into a man named Matt Johnston. He is Muscular Dystrophy patient that has achieved his dream of SCUBA diving, despite his condition and need for a ventilator to assist with his breathing. His story is truly an inspiration:

This info should get you started in your search.
