A friend of mine is working at a water purification facility where they
blow large amounts of oxygen ( i guess it must be ozon) in the water. His
boss told him not to bathe in these large tanks because he would have a
hard time staying afloat. We're both puzzled by that. How is that
possible?
thank you
Buoyancy is destroyed when large amounts of gas (bubbles) blow
through water. Some ships at sea are thought to have sunk this way.
You sink because you are too heavy to be buoyant in gas.

... Such has been my common practice ever since I entered into
religion; and though I have done it very imperfectly, yet I have found
great advantages by it. These, I well know, are to be imputed to the
mere mercy and goodness of GOD, because we can do nothing without Him;
and I still less than any. But when we are faithful to keep ourselves
in His holy Presence, and set Him always before us, this not only
hinders our offending Him, and doing anything that may displease Him,
at least wilfully, but it also begets in us a holy freedom, and if I
may so speak, a familiarity with GOD, wherewith we ask, and that
successfully, the graces we stand in need of. In fine, by often
repeating these acts, they become habitual, and the presence of GOD is
rendered as it were natural to us. Give Him thanks, if you please,
with me, for His great goodness towards me, which I can never
sufficiently admire, for the many favours He has done to so miserable
a sinner as I am. May all things praise Him. Amen.
