How Do Spartans Swim?

In Ghosts of Onyx and Halo Escalation we’ve seen Spartans swim. How? Their armour is just a big rock that would get sucked down.

With the mako armor variant?!

is that some kind of built in swim bladder??. I wonder what UNSC weapons cant shoot under water?

Don’t know about Escalation, but in Ghosts of Onyx they are Tom and Lucy, who are Spartan IIIs wearing SPI, which is much lighter than Mjolnir. Even so in the book it states that they barely made it, having to strip out of their armor and then swimming to shore. I’d take anything from Escalation with a grain of salt, but then I’m not a comic person, I guess its canon but who knows.

Thorne appears to be swimming in Escalation 22.

Never read it, not a comic fan really, so I’m not much help to you there. That being said, Mjolnir is ridiculously heavy, even the new Gen 2 stuff, so Thorne swimming may be an error on the part of the writers. Or Mjolnir could have some sort of flotation device, but the Chief’s didn’t, at least not on Delta Halo.

Also Mjolnir is sealed for use in space with 90 minutes of air, while there are complete differences in pressures exerted on the armor, its not impossible that it could function as a shallow dive suit without modifications, was Thorne swimming? Or was he diving? Because the two are completely different, a diver will have a Buoyancy Vest Compensator, which is like a lifejacket which can be inflated and deflated with air supplied from the dive tank or a separate bottle, this helps them to maintain position and adjust depth.

There’s certainly an armor meant for underwater, cant EVER remember the name, and like tango said Tom and Lucy nearly drowned and had to peel off their SPI armor

The level of the water is very low, so Thorne could walk in it. The water reach the chest of Thorne and you can see a kig-yar near yo him
