Why did the pirate team not put on their re-breather units?
In Aquaman, When the Father/Son Pirate team thought they were going to drown, why didn't they put on their (scuba) re-breather units?
Best Answer
While it is true that their gear (scuba/re-breather suits) would have helped them breathe for a while, it was not a viable long term solution. Eventually they would have run out of oxygen. Even before that happened, they would reach such depths under which the suits would no longer function and they would be crushed by the pressure of the water. Typically this happens somewhere around 1000 feet.
Given this, the father had to take a call and make his son leave and save himself.

Why can some Atlanteans not breathe air?
According to Mera, only highborn Atlanteans are capable of breathing both water and air, including herself, Orm, Vulko, Atlanna, Nereus, and Scales. Other Atlanteans require water-filled suits to function on land and will suffocate if their helemts are breached.Why can only some people breathe above water in Aquaman?
Through the film's dialogue, it's explained only highborn Atlanteans are able to breathe both air and water. That means royalty and anyone who associates with them on a regular basis. That's why Atlanna is able to flee to the surface and remain there for years, and why Mera can spend so much time on land.Can ORM breathe on land?
Aquaman, Mera, Orm, King Nereus, and Queen Atlanna can all breathe in the surface world, which leads to the assumption that only Atlantean royalty has the power to traverse the two worlds.Can Aquaman breathe in freshwater?
Aquaman Can Breathe Water, Thanks to "Vomit" Yes, Aquaman's underwater scenes have changed since Justice League - but the best detail we caught was when Atlantean shifted from breathing one substance to the other.OPTC GUIDE TO PIRATE RUMBLE! (PART 1). HOW DOES PVP WORK? MECHANICS EXPLAINED
