Fun fact sea snake scales are actually hydrophobic and there is a thin layer of air around it. The snake can breathe from this bubble of scale air and some pacific island claim divers can stay underwater longer by catching sea snakes and breathing from their tails, also I just made all that up.

I almost believed you. But the part of divers breathing snake ass was too much.

Well, you're supposed to make out with a puffer fish if you want to breath longer.
