Afterwards there is the challenge of getting the liquid out to breathe air, and some subjects have reportedly broken ribs in the violent coughing fits that this brought on.

It requires the breather to fill their lungs up with liquid, effectively to drown, and there are strong reflexes working against this. The technique was refined before it was tested on humans but liquid breathing is extremely unpleasant. In the original 1968 tests of liquid ventilation on dogs, only 7 out of 22 survived the experience. On the surface, the survival suit becomes a on-person liferaft protecting against drowning and. Commercial diver Frank Falejczyk was the first man to ever breathe liquid Falejczyk later gave a presentation which was seen by James Cameron who used the extreme diving technique in underwater actioner The Abyss. and Russian navy researchers in the 1960s but little information has ever been released. Water cannot absorb enough oxygen to be breathable by humans, so researchers used perfluorocarbon for liquid ventilation. Air is compressible so your lungs tend to be crushed at depth, but if, like fish, you breathe an incompressible liquid the problem disappears.

One left-field approach to the challenge of survival under extreme pressure is liquid breathing. In the case of something like Titan, the diving suits would probably occupy more space than the passengers. However, these suits are huge, and the project notes that stowage requirements are a key factor, as space is highly constrained on submarines. This is effectively a one-man submersible which completely isolates the wearer from the surrounding water, and which are used for operations to 2,000 feet and below. A research contract was awarded to Vishwa Robotics which has previous worked with the Navy on robotics hands for an Atmospheric Diving Suit. Navy is looking at an enhanced Deep Escape System which would almost double the current depth to over 1000 feet. Survivitec) allows for escape from stranded submarines at depth U.S. The MK-10 Submarine Escape Immersion Equipment designed by British company RFD Beaufort Ltd (now.
