Well its only a question of time, technology and mans ever inquiring mind should come up with something practical in say 10 years, but if its viable the military will grab it first, and sooner

Quite impressive I suppose but have you seen Kevin Costner in Waterworld? He's got gills behind his ears and so can breath on land and in water.

Or maybe Harry Potter with his gilly weed trick... so cool.

I read about this also, it seems very cool although the system does seem less "stable" then an air tank. I would love to see a BBC documentary on it. BBC is the best with documentarys.

Something like harry potter and his gilly weed trick would be really cool. You never know though, technology these days is always amazing.

Seems intresting....though i wouldn't prefer to be the beta tester

Well once such stuffs get invented, the science being tought in the schools may change and from then onwards a human being will be called an amphibian!!
