Reply to comment by SpaceFairyKween in [WP] Tradition dictates that each sentient species is given one seat in the Galactic Parliament. When humanity made contact with the galactic community, it was decided that planet earth deserves to have four senators. by Spozieracz

Scuba gear and probably tech advanced enough that you can breath underwater without needing a oxygen tank like artificial gills on a suit or something

And the suits that can keep out the pressure at the bottom of the ocean can also be used to survive in hard vacuum, so the space whales won’t be able to one-up us either. Though we’re going to need a second seat on the council for our AI, once we create them; or maybe we’ll just put an AI in our seat.

One cool concept I liked in the new avatar movie was the idea of essentially a set of wearable gills that made a held breath last far longer rather than fully replacing breathing.

Also introducing what were essentially hyper-intelligent bulletproof whales.
