And now for a brief history on the development of scuba Diving

Modern scuba diving equipment consists of one or more gas tanks strapped to the divers back, connected to an air hose and the diving equipement called the demand regulator. The demand regulator controls the flow of air, so that the air pressure within the diver's lungs equals the pressure of the water. The demand regulator and the autonomous diving suit where invented by Emile Gagnan and Jacques Cousteau.

Early Diving History - The First Diving Suits (deep sea diving)
Diving probably began with divers using snorkels made of hollow reeds about 100 A.D. as the first piece of diving equipment. At around 1300, Persian divers invented underwater eye-goggles, made from the polished shells or tortoises. By the 16th century, barrels were used as early diving bells, divers could travel underwater with more than one breath of air, but not for that long!

John Smeaton a British engineer invented the air pump in 1771. A hose was connected between the air pump and the diving barrel, and air was pumped to the diver, it was hoped that this method would allow deep sea diving. By 1772, Frenchmen, Sieur Freminet invented a 'rebreathing' device that recycled the used air from inside of the barrel, this was the first self-contained braething device. though this invention was a poor one and the inventor died from lack of oxygen after using his own device for 20 minutes.
