History of Scuba Diving Gear

By , About.com GuideJuly 2, 2008

Follow me on:

In 1772, Frenchmen, Sieur Freminet invented a 'rebreathing' device that recycled the exhaled air from inside of the barrel, this was the first self-contained air device. Freminet's invention was a poor one, the inventor died from lack of oxygen after being in his own device for twenty minutes.

yeah, except the pic isn’t even related to the paragraph – that’s a picture of the suit invented by Harry Houdini in 1921!
