LIKE A FISH – REVOLUTIONARY UNDERWATER BREATHING SYSTEM
An Israeli Inventor, Alon Bodner, has developed a breathing apparatus that will allow breathing underwater without the assistance of oxygen tanks. This new invention will use the relatively small amounts of air that already exist in water to supply oxygen to both scuba divers and submarines.
Fish use the dissolved air that exists in the water in order to breathe. In the ocean the wind, waves and underwater currents help spread small amounts of air inside the water. Studies have shown that in a depth of 200m below the sea there is still about 1.5% of dissolved air — not much but enough to allow both small and large fish to breathe comfortably underwater.
Patents for the invention have already been granted in Europe and a similar one is currently pending examination in the U.S. Initial financial support for the project has been given by Israel Ministry of Industry and Commerce and Bodner is currently looking for private investors to help complete his project.
If everything goes according to plan, in a few years the new tankless breathing system will be operational and will be attached to a diver in the form of a vest that will enable him to stay underwater for a period of many hours.

This reef is beautiful, exempt from the damage of illegal cyanide and explosive fishing. My DM showed me a lot of interesting sea lives, sometimes with a magnifying glass. He knew where different creatures hide… when we were next to a rock, he asked me to look under… haha, it’s really not easy to stay stagnant and look under the rock! Louis searched under the rock and suddenly a big sea turtle came out and swam away!
The corols are really beautiful and HUGE too, very colorful with many interesting shapes, some like giant mushroom in the forest! I like most swim through a group of fish, some of them a tiny silver yellow fish… sometimes fish stared at me right in front, just like pondering if I were a fish too!
I got ear pain by the end of the dive and lost buoyancy sometimes. This dive is my longest dive. Though was feeling quite cold and trembled a bit towards the end; I still want to stay there longer…………….
I so very much look forward to diving again, but it would be months after given I would be so busy working on my TV series until August!
I should have recorded all these earlier when I have more vivid memories….
