Through the film's dialogue, it's explained only highborn Atlanteans are able to breathe both air and water. That means royalty and anyone who associates with them on a regular basis. That's why Atlanna is able to flee to the surface and remain there for years, and why Mera can spend so much time on land.
Atlanteans possess a highly efficient respiratory system that allows them to extract oxygen from water and breath freely while submerged. According to Mera, only high-born Atlanteans are capable of breathing both water and air, including Orm, Vulko, Atlanna and Scales.
Amphibious adaptation: As a high-born Atlantean, Orm can survive both on land and in underwater environments, unlike most Atlanteans, who cannot breathe air. Aquatic respiration: Orm can naturally breathe underwater.
Unlike her husband, Mera is a pure Atlantean, meaning that there is no human DNA anywhere in her body. As a result of this, Mera possesses other abilities that Arthur simply can't acquire. This is where Mera's ability to control water comes from.
He also retroactively developed a specific weakness akin to Superman's vulnerability to kryptonite or Green Lantern's vulnerability to the color yellow: Aquaman had to come into contact with water at least once per hour or he would die. Prior to this, Aquaman could exist both in and out of water indefinitely.

What is Aquaman's weakness?
Weaknesses. Dryness: If Aquaman stays dry for too long, he will die. Batman declared himself awesome, and takes it upon himself to keep Aquaman wet at all times. Despite Aquaman's complaints, Batman continues in his attempts to make Aquaman wet.
An Atlantean. But he's not a sea creature. He breathes air just like any other man and water just like any other Atlanteans. What he can do is breathe in both environments indefinitely/forever if he needs to.
In the case of Aquaman, his telepathy was once limited to marine-based lifeforms including fish and some mammals such as whales and dolphins. As he grew older, Aquaman was able to increase the range of his telepathy to include land-based mammals as well as human beings.
Powers. As with all Atlanteans, she shares their basic physiological adaptation to the depths of the sea that grants Atlanteans superhuman speed, strength, reflexes, stamina, and durability as well as resistance to heat and energy and enhanced senses that gives the more acute hearing and can see deep in the ocean depth ...
Aquaman and his daughter, Merina can communicate with aquatic life, via telepathy; it is unknown whether or not other Atlanteans possess this ability, as well, or if it is unique to the royal family alone.
Aquababy: Son of Aquaman and Mera, Arthur Curry, Jr.; he inherited Mera's water-controlling powers while having the unique ability to create and mutate sea life. He was a young child when killed by Black Manta.
Furthermore, because Aquaman can command ALL sea-life—including alien intelligences like octopuses and other invertebrates down to microscopic krill, he can just as easily command ALL lifeforms above water—including people and probably many alien species as well.
Appearance. The Atlanteans have tan skin, white hair, full lips and black eyes. Most of the tunics, robes, and garments are worn by the Atlanteans are blue, with some gold and orange colors interwoven.
The Aquaman star “was moving in a different direction and it did not fit together with her lifestyle,” the source added. “They drifted apart and wanted different things.” In a separate report from People, a source said they still care “deeply about each other”.
The two married in 2017 and announced their breakup in 2022. Lisa Bonet and Jason Momoa are officially ending their marriage. The Ray Donovan actress has filed for a dissolution of her marriage to the Aquaman star, citing irreconcilable differences, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE.
Arthur Curry, Jr. was born in 1965's Aquaman #23. At the time, Arthur and Mera had only been married for five issues, so this was a surprising development. The comic begins with a doctor informing Arthur that Mera is pregnant and before the final page, Aquababy is born!
In David's early life, Aquaman killed Black Manta's father Jesse Hyde by accident in retaliation for attacking Aquaman's father Thomas Curry at the time when Stephen Shin contracted David to obtain the DNA of Aquaman who later mistook Jesse for David when exacting vengeance.
In what remains one of the most jawdropping moments in Aquaman lore, the metahuman Charybdis – who possessed the ability to steal others' powers – took Arthur's ability to speak to sea life, then forced his hand into a pool of piranha, leaving Aquaman's left hand eaten down to the bone.
Because of his inability to exist fully on land, though, the King of Atlantis became quite adept at surviving under the sea. In order to survive deep underwater, his body had adjusted to withstand intense water pressure. This enabled him to move about normally, like a human moving on land.
Ocean Master (Orm Marius) is a fictional character, a supervillain published by DC Comics, and the brother of Aquaman. He was created by Nick Cardy and Bob Haney. Ocean Master was Aquaman's fully human half-brother, the son of Tom Curry (Aquaman's father) and a woman named Mary O'Sullivan.
In fact, all that pressure has given his body the ability to withstand more than just tons of water pressing down on him. His seemingly thin skin is strong enough to withstand everything from machine gun fire to explosives. He even shrugged off a punch from Wonder Woman.
