You mean you don't already have one? Sheesh. I've been seeing with my tongue like forever. :) JB

Oh, it works. I think maybe a little too well at times. But if you're looking for bigger stuff, blast away. It's kind of fun... JB

Every year I go back to the academy where I was certified and help out with the classes where I can (mostly just mooch air and herd the slowest kid). Anyway, every year there is a new college intern from Ball State working with the instructors. I don't know much about the degree program they...

Don, I think I made it clear that I wasn't depending much on the diver who claimed to be involved with the breathing method (didn't you and I already chat about who would likely be doing diving of this sort? I believe you said that hard hat divers would be a better bet than a SEAL.). And I...

I respect the opinion of anyone with a military background. That said, I'm not going to feign ignorance on this topic because you think I'm young. These are people I know and have worked with for years. I consider myself privileged for the experience and completely understand why someone who...

In your opinion, does the Mythos offer better visibility than average? I'm attracted to the mask as well. The price is attractive, at least. JB

I've never met a SEAL out and about so I'm not sure what that's about. The conversations I've had with SEALs and other special forces personnel have been in the confines of a military institution. Maybe they talk more. I'd never waste valuable time with such an interesting person talking...

In my experience, Navy SEALs don't have a personality type (some are outgoing and some aren't) and are very approachable. Those that I've been around have always been perfectly willing to talk shop. They like to tell stories like anyone else. Also, the perception that they are prohibited from...

Hmm, I like my avatar. And you're probably right. But it's fun to think about. JB

So, you believe me? Good. I don't consider conversations I've had as proof of anything. Nor do I particularly expect you too either. That makes this all speculation. This debate has reminded me that mentioning things like that is often counter-productive (you've been hung up on it for...

If anyone had really fessed up about anything this thread wouldn't be full of everyone's speculation, would it? Remember, this is all just bollocks, mate. And don't get too hung up on the submarine stuff, please. If the technology is being used, who knows what they actually do with it. And...

Well, it's good to know, in the context of this discussion, that there is information to collect in deep water. I'm not really concerned about who is doing the liquid breathing so much as I am with whether it's being done. Just from what I understand about the military division of labor, I...

I'm not arguing with that! You're still thinking about this in terms of objects of a variety with which we are acquainted. My guess is that this would be useful for something that ROVs and sats can't help with; some kind objective requiring some adlibbing or maybe there actually is some...

Well, if you've met SEALs, you've met SEALs. I've met more than a few and worked with some. This was at a military academy and, let's just say, their resumes were in order. I won't list names nor will I worry about how amazed you may be with people I’ve met. If you'd like me to regale...

Well, I'll tell you more about what he said about the technology, which was nothing. I didn't ask any good questions. This was before I even had an interest in diving. He said he had qualified for the training and not much else on the subject. Reading the post you quoted, it sounds a...

Interesting. Haven't heard that one yet. In discussion on its medical uses with premature babies they didn't address it. Interesting though. Sorry about the quote (but my quote is longer than your quote). I suggest a dive-off. I'm thinking cold water, no-viz capture the flag.... :) JB

Fair enough. But I don't think an argument about a technology's useful application will produce much when the real question is whether or not it even exists in a form that can be applied. If it exists, it’s used for something we can't think of anyway (but I love the ideas of what it...

Again, if this technology does exist my guess is that the uses wouldn't be this obvious.

No details on that. If what I said is true (and there's a pretty good chance it's not, I've been carrying that info around for awhile), I imagine it could be both. We know the stuff is harmful (what we've see from Liquivent so far) and I can't see how diving that deep wouldn't be emotionally...
