this is the suit where you breathe in oxygenated liquid into your lungs, isn’t it?

that must be freaky

The spec sheet only says two redundant oxygen systems with a capacity of 50 hours and doesn't mention oxygenated liquid, but you may be right.

A thousand feet is not for me. Past 120 feet and you can count me out.

The Exosuit protects its wearer from decompression sickness because it maintains the level of air pressure humans experience at the surface. Without the threat of the bends, a diver can be pulled up to the surface in just two or three minutes if anything goes wrong.

Just air in a non-compressible suit.

You're letting Hollywood mis-inform you on technology. The breathing oxygenated liquid nonsense is from "The Abyss". (I should say it isn't "nonsense" It's still highly experimental. It's possible, but it doesn't handle CO2 exchange under high pressure, and the technology is still too complex.)

This suit lets you bend your arms and legs while maintaining a sea level atmospheric pressure of 14 psi.
