Underwater breathing apparatus, 1800s - Stock Image - C016/9511

Caption
Underwater breathing apparatus. Historical artwork of a 19th-century experimental underwater breathing apparatus known as 'Le Triton'. It was designed in 1808 by Frederic de Drieberg. The diver carries a metal air cylinder on his back, with a metal crown on his head, connected to a pair of bellows. By nodding his head, the diver causes the bellows to suck air from the surface through a tube. Artwork from 'La Navigation sous-marine' (1906).

Are you sure that isn’t just filled with beer?
 
Meh. There's a million diy scuba solutions on youtube. Some guys use 20oz water bottles and a bike pump.

 
Here is tonights cringe. This is the craziest thing I've seen in a while...


"Only draw back with this is you have to pump it up and you have to wear a bag of rocks on your back"

:facepalm:

"if you pump it up to 2000 psi, which I plan to do in the future..."
