      Hydrogen is used at extreme depths, but isn’t so good at moderate depths, and has its own issues, like being flammable as all fuck

      Ah very interesting, and yes theoretically I believe. Some people are experimenting with other gases due to the price and low availability of Helium.

      Rebreathers are becoming a lot more accessible these days and so are making dives much cheaper, but they’re still $20k so it takes a while to recoup the cost.
