My post of Aug 7, 2007 this thread..
"Good gosh!
Some one actually read my column "The way it was.." in Discover diving and recalled its contents..
It was from an article about Bob Retherford who developed "The sea Sabre signaling system" in 1953--he also owned a dive shop The Aquatic Center in Newport Beach California which featured flavored air.
When chaging filters he always placed a drop or two of flavoring into the filtering system...Mint was the favorite...
Never work today--some one would find an excuse to sue or complain bitterly on the Scuba Board....
Yes it did happen and could happen...
SDM "
It began in So Cal in the early 1950s.
You can read about Bob, the development of the UW signaling system which is till in use today as well as flavored SCUBA air which is not in common use today in the www.portagequarry;legendsofdiving
