For those of you who need refreshing, the abomination that is Jar-Jar Binks is leading Qui-Gon Jin and Obi-Wan Kenobi to the secret city of the Gungans, where they essentially hide in times of trouble. This is entire city is situated underwater and houses some sort of quasi-liquid orbs that allow gravity and oxygen etc. So anyway, the two Jedi follow Jar-Jar to the hidden city and as they're submerging themselves they insert two small devices that look like a mouthguard with plastic wings into their mouths. Presumably, this allows them to breathe underwater, because they enter a pond and swim to the city.
Anyway, breathing underwater is obviously something really really cool. Scuba diving without a tank or any of that cumbersome gear, scaring the shit out of people with fake shark fins etc, creating some sort of suit that's resistant to pressure (and assuming that this device is capable of extracting oxygen from extremely pressurized water (I mean it's used by Jedi, it's probably safe to assume that)) and discovering all kinds of previously lost treasure, do some kind of Italian Job-like thievery in Venice, winning a shitload of breath-holding contests via hustling, (assuming I could replicate this prop for just one second) creating some sort of quidditch-like underwater game (courtesy of BB), astronaut training, becoming a disgusting surfer, given that if I 'wipe out,' as it's called, I can't drown, doing similar things of that nature, extreme kayaking, cliff diving, and pretty much anything where drowning is a risk, and finally trying to discover some way to trigger underwater volcanic eruptions, so as to create my own island in the pacific.
Comment with your uses for underwater breathing in a tiny handheld device.
Sorry for the lengthy delay, the real world's been knocking at my door the last few days. Then I went to the beach.
