A device that lets you breathe underwater without the tanks?

"Mesa thinks a troll we have here...meditate on this one, I will..."

Why does yoda speak in the passive voice?

I suppose you could make something that would diffuse the oxygen straight into your circulatory system, but you would still need air to excrete the carbon dioxide.

Would you need air to excrete CO2? What about that liquid stuff for really deep diving? I know that was in a few movies, too, but I was under the impression that it was real technology. (?)

Re not reading the thread thru:

Don't let those jerks deter you, it's coming, & very soon -- trust me.

By the way, which episode of pokemon was that? I may need that clip soon.

great thread ... a bit old, but I liked it then, and still something to think of now too

I don't understand why there is so much ridicule and raillery directed against what would be a wonderfully useful device, one that should be available very soon, maybe even by tomorrow afternoon.

The uses for this kind of air/water filter would go far beyond the sport of diving. Such a device would make the bridges and tunnels in places like NYC and San Francisco almost unnecessary. Commuters would have to wear drip dry no-ironing clothes and rubber shoe protectors in order to walk to work from New Jersey to New York, or across San Francisco Bay or any other body of water. The intrepid and physically fit could easily walk to Europe. Scaling the mid-Atlantic ridges would be easy in a water environment.

This is so exciting.

I don't know what's more annoying...New accounts that don't search the board and ask the same laundry list of questions (PADI vs. NAUI, anyone?), or the new accounts that start at the beginning of time and then revive old threads. If my daughter had been in 3rd grade when this thread started, she'd be in her first semester of college now.
