[QUOTE="Cloud_765"]BUT THE SKY IS FULL OF NOTHING BUT AIR. IT IS SO BORING. :|Celldrax
I wouldn't call diving in the air from a few thousand feet boring :P
And just think.....getting anywhere would be so much easier.
Anyway, I guess I'd choose flying.
Wouldn't want to fly too high because the of the high radiation in the Earth's upper stratosphere. I'd just use it my flying powers to travel places I haven't been, maybe the top of Mount Everest. Flying too slow would be bad... In today's terrorist-filled world you'd probably be classified as a UFO and the government would be on your tail. Then they'd capture you and lock you up in Area 51. In that case I would need to travel faster then speed of light so it would be travel would be instantaneous.
Breathe underwater. Providing I'm also able to withstand the pressure of the deep. There are far more riches to be found in the seas than there are in the sky.
As having the ability to breathe underwater would affect my life rather undramatically, I'll go with flying. I'd just want a portable GPS device so I do not get lost and a very good raincoat.
I'd choose flying, if not for the fact that people would spot me in the air and want to disect me alive to see how I do it. So I'd go water breathing in that case. Can be a lot more subtle about that.
Considering the ability to not drown, I might say the former is more useful in prolonging one's life. Flying is fun and all, but you're still squishy. I wouldn't even go exploring or anything... I was thinking on the off-chance that someone ever tried to kill me by holding my head underwater, I'll have the upper hand.
Plus I have a fear of heights. I love airplanes (I even like the feeling of turbulence), but I have never wished I could fly on my own.
I figure flying. Breathing underwater isn't going to stop be from getting crushed trying explore the only things that make breathing under water worth it. Deep ocean trenches.
Who would answer underwater breathing? You can buy stuff to allow that. Can you buy anything to let you (and by you i mean not in a plane) fly? Didn't think so.
does breathing underwater include ability to dive really deep without being crushed? does flying include ability to fly really high without suffocating?

Well either way you will have a buffer to limit you from being crushed or sufficating. So i think they both come with common sense. Well maybe.

Jet pack.
Damn you!
Jet packs are far, far away from being useful. Your point still stands.
Well, that is kind of a hard decision for me. I can't swim and I don't like heights. That being said I'd go with flying. Can you imagine the money I'd make just by being somebodies personal taxi? I'll carry around for five minutes for 1,000 bucks a pop. Hell, I'd even take them to their destination, if I could get there in five minutes.
Flying would be a lot more fun, but breathing underwater would be more interesting to me. I love ocean creatures, so I think being able to experience them for an infinite amount of time would be awesome. I obviously couldn't go very deep because of the pressure, but there's some damn cool stuff even a couple hundred feet down.

I'd die happily knowing I'd be consumed by the colossal squid.
Even if I could breathe underwater, filling my lungs with water seems like it'd be a really good way to get a potentially lethal infection. The same way there are some bodies of water that you don't even touch, I sure as hell wouldn't want to get some dirty-ass pond water in my lungs. But flying is always cool as hell. Just look out for power lines, and stay away from airplanes.
I will go with flying because I could go anywhere I want and I might get over the fear of heights once I get used to it. Having the ability to breath underwater seems useless to me since I have a fear of the unknown in the sea and also it doesn't exactly make me a strong swimmer, which makes me prey for a lot of predators.

Flying = you would be rich. Think of all the stuff having that ability would earn you money. Breathing underwater =? Cant gain anything but the ability to be eaten/ die from deadly fish
Breathing underwater would require a relativly minor lung alteration, or gill addition. Flying would require the rewrite of physics, id go with flying.

[QUOTE="Allicrombie"][QUOTE="fr3ddiemercury"]Flying = you would be rich. Think of all the stuff having that ability would earn you money. What if I don't wanna work for FedEx? Much more things. People would pay you tons to strap unto you and fly them. You could help fight crime . Lots of things
