would it be possible?

Question

would it be possible to live underwater

Answer 1

Under what conditions?

I recall seeing an article about a hotel in the Florida Keys that has made a series of underwater "bungaloes" that guests need to SCUBA dive down to, and out of. Looks like it would be interesting. And there are deep-sea researchers that live at depth for some time.

But either one requires a great deal of support at this time, since none of them could be considered self-sufficient. Perhaps in the future?

Answer 2

People have already lived in water - in an underwater housing unit for research. There was an issue of national geographic that showed the research center. If it's possible to live in space on the MIR space-station, why wouldn't it be possible in water? Do a search on some reputable science magazines or periodicals, and I'll bet you'll find out.

Answer 3

Well, if you have an underwater home, reinforced to withstand the pressure, and you have plenty of food and water, etc...then of course. Navy officers live underwater on submarines for months at a time. The only thing that really seems to be a problem is the lack of sunshine. (Vit. D) And for those who have a phobia wouldn't fare well.

Answer 4

Based on the fact that as growing embryos we live and breath in fluids. I believe it is very possible to live underwater as well as with a few more advances in science we could even have the potential to breath under water. Our first 9-10 months we live in fluid it is how we are born not how we die. Hope this makes sense.

Answer 5

If you could construct a dome that could withstand the massive amounts of pressure and found a way to pull oxygen from the water to sustain life inside the dome...Then you could live there.

Next you'd need to plant lots and lots of trees and and plants and find a reliable, renewable food source (cause fish everyday gets boring) that isn't cows (the amounts of methane would reek havoc on the environment).

And then more converters to change salt water into drinking water. And can't forget housing.

And a way to fix the dome if it gets cracked.

Let's see...air, food, water, shelter...Yeah. You could live underwater. You just need the tech.

Edit: And lights. You'd need lights. Almost forget about that.

Answer 6

Do you mean "breath water" or "build a domed city underwater?" The later, possible but expensive.

The former was done in that movie.. sorry I can't remember... where they were far underwater and put a liquid in their lungs which allowed oxygen transfer.

Answer 7

It 's posssible to live underwater,provided u build an underwater
city,with a lot of oxygen

Answer 8

With a decent de-salination equipment and perhaps a filtering system to get oxygen form the water and cycle carbon dioxide it may well be possible, but you'd need a power source, short of geo-thermal you'd have difficulties because solar power wouldn't work at any depth of the ocean floors. Then count in food needs and it would be difficult.

Answer 9

.No! God did not make mankind to live underwater but upon the earth. That is why we don't have gills and there is nothing man can do to make this happen.

Answer 10

You would have to have alot of oxygen. I don't think that your skin could sustain being in there for a very long amount of time. Also it would be difficult to eat. If you meant in a submarine type of thing, I guess so, as long as you had oxygen and ways to contact people to get the things you need.
