It just seems like it would be a really cool thing to have gills and be able to populate the oceans in the same way we populate the land. We could have houses and shops and vehicles, andgo on walks/swims and just kind of live underwater.

Start a whole new second species of human here on earth maybe, Who knows?

Crisper isn't changing an organism's genes to that extent. When you're designing an immune response with rna injection or other changes brought about with cytophages you can only get crispier. It's sort of like how you can't double fry fried chicken. It's already crispy once, it just gets burned and dries out.

While it's definitely not possible with current tech, I don't see why it wouldn't theoretically be possible. It would be an insanely complex, multi stage process, though.

What, double frying chicken wings?

Like Icarus, you're mad with wonder. Do not try it. Do not fly close to the sun of double crispy wings.
