The James Cameron film The Abyss features a character using liquid breathing to dive thousands of feet without compressing. The Abyss also features a scene with a rat submerged in and breathing fluorocarbon liquid, filmed in real life.[39]

They talked about doing that in The Abyss documentary on the DVD. I watched it when it first came out, but that's been years ago, but I remember it being a pretty awesome doc.
