.... anyone flooded a extendair before? ....

Yes, I have (in a swimming pool). The unit was flooded for about 5 minutes before I cleared it (this is also when I was forced to learn how to properly do a dil flush). The water inside the loop definitely tasted bad but not so bad that I couldn't swallow it -- I did swallow a mouthful of the slightly caustic water before I knew how to dil flush and it wasn't pleasant but it went down. After I finally cleared the unit (probably took a full 45 seconds or a minute to get it clear), I was able to keep on breathing the Rebreather with just a slight taste of zing.
