It doesn’t actually cause humans to get crushed “like empty cans of of soda” right?

I have a question.
If i take a gulp of air at the surface and start to descend, my lungs start to shrink as the pressure compresses them,
so in theory, if I took a full breath at the surface, went down X distance, i could breath in from a resperator without exhaling, and go down X distance and breath in again without exhaling, and so on.
Right, so now I’m way down below. If I exhaled all that I had into a balloon and rose to the top, I my balloon would get bigger and bigger and bigger.
Similarly, if I used my resperater under the pressurized depths to blow up another balloon of the exact same size, that is 1 full breath of air, right? it is.
So as I rise tot he surface, that balloon gets bigger and bigger and bigger.
Now i’m at the surface with a gigantic balloon. It’s tripled in size!
I try to inhale the air directly from my resperator from the balloon. I can’t do it! It’s 3 times my lung capacity!
Does it still only contain 1 normal breath’s worth of air? Like, i’d have to take all 3 breaths from the balloon to equal 1 breath of normal atmospheric air???
