The lungs have excessive fluid built up inside them. If you can breathe underwater, you probably won't be that affected, for the rest of us, the fluids stop the transfer of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide).

What would negatively affect carbon dioxide alveolar diffusion?

Factors that could negatively affect carbon dioxide alveolar diffusion include conditions that impair gas exchange in the lungs, such as pulmonary fibrosis, pneumonia, or pulmonary edema. Other factors like decreased lung compliance or reduced surface area for gas exchange in the alveoli can also hinder carbon dioxide diffusion. Additionally, problems with perfusion, such as reduced blood flow to the lungs, can impact the removal of carbon dioxide from the bloodstream.
