I would have to say human gills. I’ve recently discovered there are actually some clever scientists working on it already! Hallelujah! Read this article and start getting excited.

I’m happiest submerged in water, be it the ocean (my favourite), swimming pool or just a common bathtub. There’s something about quickly jumping into a swimming pool after a hard, frustrating day that just makes everything OK in 5 seconds flat.

Of course, with human gills you would then need a wetsuit that would protect your skin from becoming too soft and falling off your body ala David Blaine. Also, you’d also need little glass/Perspex compartments you can put your books in, so that it’s possible to read underwater. Maintaining body temperature,  eating and sleeping will also have to be brought into consideration.
