Can a human die if submerged in highly oxygenated liquid water and breathe normal?
In: Biology
There were experiments with breathable liquids (not water) but iirc the few people who did it said it felt like suffocating the whole time since, not only do you have to go against your instincts to fill your lungs with liquid, it’s also extremely exhausting to move your diaphragm with that amount of weight. There’s also the problem of getting the stuff out of your lungs afterwards, which is, again, extremely uncomfortable and you risk getting a potentially lethal infection if it hasn’t been done correctly.
So all in all, not practical.
