I've no idea where the research is on that - just that it's something that was being looked at about 15-20 years ago with implications for super-deep diving and high-G load suits. Crazy stuff.

The technology for this would work but you still have to problem of decompressing after a very deep dive. I'd imagine weeks in a chamber after such a dive.
