Also to make up for being that guy, you are correct, as they actually have a synthetic fluid like that, it's used for extremely deep dives and many have a hard time using it as it makes you feel like you are drowning and it functions the same way as when you are in the womb as a fetus surrounded by liquid. I've heard it's really uncomfortable and makes you anxious but if practiced and mentally prepared is accomplished without to much difficulty. They use it because it keeps you alive and unlike gases, under extreme pressure being a liquid it doesn't compress. So the depth one can dive using it or be in a vehicle far down is increased exponentially over breathing gases.

Like minimum wage or freedom from European Government Control. We wait for the FED to make a decision for us. I live near an island town named Dafuskie (sp? 😅). There are no bridges to Dafuskie.
