From AOW_dude: I like his old movie The Abyss but the diving scenes in it were kinda hokey. (Inhaling water and stuff, I dunno. Hope he gets diving right this time.)



You do know that the Navy really did experiment with this technology in the 70’s and 80’s, right? I’ve spoken with one of the Navy SEALS who was part of that project. According to him it failed mostly because the saturation and expulsion processes (moving to breathing fluid and back to air) was so painful. He said it would be a week or better before you got over the experience and pnuemonia was a very real threat afterwards.
