Breathing Underwater?

I was wondering if it would be at all possible if some people could be given the ability to breathe underwater because certain species such as Mon Calamari, Nautolan etc. (Excuse my spelling) can breath underwater.
Just a thought.

Sorry i was under the impression that they could but anyway there are other species that can.

There was something along these lines talked about not that long ago. A species trait list, ability list. I'll have a look for the thread shortly.

I actually think they can, younger ones sometimes have trouble with it, is my understanding.
Anyways, I think that's a excellent idea, good thinking Aduro.

Actually they either can or can hold their breath underwater for a VERY long time so I think they'd apply.
But anyway it would be realistic because currently if you are one of those species and stay underwater for etended time you'd drown.

No water damage and species' traits have been discussed already. However I don't recall the outcome to the topics. You can find the topic(s) on the suggestions board somewhere.

Just to put an end to the debate, yes, MonCals
can drown according to easily located sources.
They could also descend to depths of up to 30 meters below sea level without breathing, though they found it uncomfortable and often used organic gills. Mon Calamari could stay underwater for a long period of time, although a frightened Mon Calamari, particularly a juvenile, could drown underwater. They also did not need to decompress when resurfacing.

[Note: The "Organic Gill" is a symbiotic device created to enable breathing underwater, which the MonCals apparently invented.]
EDIT:
It also looks like the main idea here was being handled as part of the discussion for a system for Species specific traits, in the following thread:

Can we just get water damage turned off, at least? Please? And then use the honor system so that the nonaquatic species can't hold their breath as long or something? Pretty please?..... Arikakon
That could be great for the aquatics species.

Now! The BIG Question!
-Can you guys do somethig so the aquatic AND ONLY the aquatic species breath underwater while the others die?
