  1.  @ekothesilent9456  One can't bring a "suit of water" into space for the same reason our spacesuits aren't just "suits full of air. It's not just water that they'd need; it requires all of the systems to clean it and keep the ecosystem within the water alive; it'd require oxygenators, possibly. Additionally, I'm not sure you understand how dense water is; one cubic meter of water weighs ~1 ton.

  2. Fire may not be the only solution for making complex tools: radioactive material can do the same thing and it's not more dangerous than fire, really. Fire—up until very recently—was incredibly dangerous. A species may accept the risk of disease just as we accepted burning to death as a possibility. It wouldn't allow them to create the kind of civilization that offers detectable techno signatures, but it would allow civilizations.

  3. It isn't a good fermi paradox solution because it isn't "all civilizations." We exist and we're not underwater, so it seems very unlikely that we would be the exception to the rule in an entire universe. I stand by the "we are the first, last, or only" solution.
