Scuba diving gear
Scuba diving gear has a lot of important elements, but the most important might be the actual breathing apparatus. Scuba sets are either open-circuit (called “Aqualung” in Europe) or closed and/or semi-closed circuit (referred to as “rebreather”).
Open circuit apparatus are used much more often than the rebreather scuba diving gear. Invented by Jacques Yves Cousteau and Emile Gagnan, the open circuit, or Aqualung, is simpler than its closed-circuit counterpart.
Scuba diving gear has really stayed a lot the same over the years, operating on just a few simple principles of gas mixing and buoyancy compensation. Though without the breathing apparatus, scuba diving wouldn’t be at all possible – for safe dive to take place, all the gear must also be present and working in concert with the breathing apparatus.
