Humans don't have this ability, which is why nitrogen hypoxia is so scary
The research paper seems to indicate that we do, but to an extremely limited extent compared to seals, according to my wildly uneducated reading of it. I think that's what I'm getting at. I wonder if there's a way to buff that stat with technology to make us, at least temporarily, more resistant to hypoxia.
