Don't know how good your German is, but at the link it says:
"The diving aparatus OHBA by Nippon Sanso Inc. (Sanso=oxygen) uses
a closed system.
The exhaled breath is cleaned of CO2 and enriched with oxygen.
That way the OHBA makes a dive duration of 10 minutes at 5 meters
possible.
The unit was not widely used and has disappeared. Currently in production in Japan is the Fieno".
Kinda looks like the Bond gimmick in Thundeball.
Hope the translation helps. I'm sure it's not the only unit of it's kind, and that it's next to impossible to find any of them. Maybe try the Historical Diving Society, they might know more on the subject ... .
Good luck
Stefan
