Respiration
Extends underwater breathing time by 15 seconds per level (45 seconds extra at level III) and gives a level/(level+1) chance per second to avoid drowning damage while out of air. It also slightly improves underwater visibility.

Best uses
Pair with Aqua Affinity on the same helmet for full underwater efficiency. Respiration III gives 60 total seconds before drowning begins, making extended underwater builds and ocean monument raids far more manageable.
