Can the human body get used to living under pressure?

[Darian Dunn]

A little background of where my brain is going. I started thinking about the space station. Then started thinking about how unforgiving space is. Then I started thinking about why not a deep-sea station.

Can the human body get used to living at depth (under pressure)?

If yes, how deep?

If yes, would the air you breath need to be something besides air (nitrox, trimix, helox)?

Thanks

Do a Google search. Undersea habitats have been around since the 50's when Cousteau ran the Conshelf experiment. One of the latest is NOAA's National Undersea Research Program.
