Hydrogen diving isn't new! Comex did the Hydra trials many years ago keeping divers in saturation and going to depths if I recall of 300m. It hasn't been adopted widely as they had significant issues with narcosis. Well, they certainly did in the film I saw of Maurice Cross looking very depressed! Interestingly the explosive risk was less of an issue as the percentage of oxygen required at these depths is very low to keep partial pressure at the right level. Seehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrox_(breathing_gas) for more detailed information and a reference to Richard Harris's dive in the Pearse resurgence (the anaesthtetist involved in the Thai rescue).
