The brand name of underwater breathing equipment. It means "underwater lungs." It uses a tank filled with compressed air and combines a mask with a device that adjusts the pressure to deliver air. It was invented in 1943 by French ocean explorer Jacques-Yves Cousteau and others. It was initially used for mine disposal, but after it became commercially available in 1947 after World War II, it became popular worldwide as diving equipment and underwater sports equipment.
