@lucifargundam havent really decided where yet. I'm in a unique case where i went from professional/technical scuba diver doing some of the most advanced dives in the world, to being bed ridden for a year, barely mobile for a year after that. So now there is a physical offset in both stamina, weight, and the variable of how my back will hold up.

So whatever plan I have to get back to diving is going to have to be a combination of exercise, diet, and starting with safe entry level dives and working my way back up.

@freemo @lucifargundam become a biomechanical man

@icedquinn

I wish :)

@lucifargundam

@icedquinn @freemo biomechanical cyberpunk?

@AmpBenzScientist Why wouldnt it?

@freemo I don't know how deep you are diving. The pressure and the depressurization could cause problems with your injury. It would be best to consult with a doctor, a medical doctor, before you dive again.

@AmpBenzScientist Oh that, typically even at deep dive, the only concern in terms of compression are air-filled spaces.

@freemo I don't remember the name of the movie but SEALS had their lungs filled with liquid and were supplied oxygen from another source. The respiration was done for them.The technology has been used in the pandemic.

@AmpBenzScientist The abyss and they breathed oxygen from the water it was just hyper oxygenated.

It is a researched fiend but no one as far as I know has had a successful like human test yet.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_breathing

@freemo iirc the soviets and the United States Navy successfully experimented with super oxygenated fluids and liquid breathing, but it was deemed not practicable because we're not designed to breathe fluids so even after the shock of exposure and feeling of drowning was overcome by participants it was still extremely stressful and difficult to breath the liquids and afterwards it was causing problems like pneumonia due to an inability to properly or completely clear the lungs of fluid @AmpBenzScientist

@kino @freemo @AmpBenzScientist basically it's only worth it if you have to ludicrously accelerate your spaceship.

@hector @freemo @kino Or to be able to dive deeper. It then becomes an issue of Mathematics becoming difficult.

@kino @freemo I'm assuming that it caused lung damage from ROS too. It reminds me of the gas that makes one's voice deeper. It can kill if one doesn't use gravity to fully purge it from the lungs. As silly as it sounds, I wonder if they were forced to hang upside down and puke the stuff out followed by actual vomit.

@AmpBenzScientist no idea but I distinctly remember that it was tested "successfully" as a proof of concept in humans, and done so independent of one another, but because of problems experienced both sides determined it wasn't viable and further work into it was abandoned since it didn't seem like it had any viable future for application or development @freemo

@kino @freemo That sounds much like the development of Radar in WW2.

@kino
I wonder if you arent just remembering the abyss movie and confusing it with real life?
@AmpBenzScientist

@freemo @kino Perhaps so.

@AmpBenzScientist @freemo never seen this movie

@AmpBenzScientist @freemo memory seems to recall seeing this on something like history channel or something similar years ago when we had satellite tv and history channel wasn’t ancient aliens or pawn stars

but considering i seem to remember hearing this from history channel take it with grains of salt

@kino @freemo It's like history keeps changing and disappearing.

@AmpBenzScientist well yes, we’re actively molesting history to suit contemporary positions. all humans do this and we always will. i have watched almost in real-time wikipedia articles being edited/modified to align with at-the-moment narratives. get into the habit of not trusting or believing anything. that being said, none of the above means my assertions regarding liquid breathing are legitimate. i could very well be mistaken yet. my 2¢ isn’t worth shit. @freemo

@freemo There are membranes that allow for the more difficult part (CO2 removal from blood) and oxygen binding to the red blood cells in the blood stream.
