John and Eric are right about pre-breathing preventing decompression sickness (precipitation of N2 in fluids and joints due to decreased solubility at altitude) but it does not prevent hypoxia, Even worse: Pure oxygen is poisonous at atmospheric pressure and should not be breathed over an extended time.
