Has anyone else heard of breathing liquid instead of gas/air ? I think the navy did tests on this but found (besides the discomfort of the drowning feeling/reflex) that the liquid wasn't effective enough in removing CO2.

FYI-the tank is 15 meters, not 15 feet. It says so at the end when the person who made the video thanks someone for the 18 meter tank.
Cheers. :cheese:
