People cannot breathe underwater without assistance from oxygen tanks and rebreathers, or air pumps. It is currently impossible to draw enough oxygen out of water to sustain a human, so we rely on carrying the air down with us, or drawing it down from the surface on demand. Oxygen tanks can last multiple hours, but a pump system will operate as long as it has fuel.
