      We can already breath underwater with oxygen tanks… but totally unaided we would require gills and that would take genetic modification which would be quite dodgy morally or evolution which would take millions of years.

      I could imagine a device in the future..that you would strap to your face that could act to take oxygen from the water, but i don’t know how it would work 🙂
