Tid-Bits: several centuries B.C. Antique carvings revealed Assyrian soldiers crossing rivers using inflated goatskins. This the only documentation that inflated goatskins might have been used as breathing devices. I'll leave this to the readers imagination.

Leonardo de Vinci made the first known mention of an underwater breathing device. (Ubd) colse to the 15th century. He described it as Bad Human Nature, and gave no details as to how it worked. Mainly because using the (Ubd) could maybe be used to sink ships and even used to commit murder.

Waterproof goggles were first introduced in France in the 1930's. They were indubitably invented by Guy Gilpatrick to keep the salt water out of your eyes at the surface. Thanks Gil.

The first Scuba Certification procedure in the Usa was offered by the L.A. Co. Dept. Of Parks and Recreation. The schedule was introduced by Albert Tillman and Bev Morgan.

It was 1956 before wetsuits became available to the public.
