Default Question to Mxmanic

Wrong again! Water is respirable at ambient pressures sufficiently high
to provide sufficient PO2 (that's partial pressure of oxygen, my boy).
Unfortunately, the problem is carbon dioxide solubility, which makes
water unusable. However, liquid respiration IS successfully done with
various fluorocarbon compounds.

Come now, Anthony. Try to get at least one fact straight.

Water is breathable if there is enough oxygen in it, although the effect on
lung tissue over long periods of breathing a liquid has not been determined.
There are some therapeutic uses for techniques similar to this.

Actually, there is a liquid formula that deep sea divers can breathe.
Flourine something or other.

But you can breathe water, too. You only get to inhale once, though.
