G'day DJM,
Thank you for your question.
Emile Gagnan and acques-Yves Cousteau are normally credited with inventing scuba gear in 1943.
The word 'SCUBA' is an acronym for "Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus", but it has become acceptable to refer to 'scuba equipment' or 'scuba apparatus'. The term SCUBA in common usage usually means open-circuit equipment in which gas (usually air) is breathed from a tank of compressed gas and then exhaled into the water, usually in the line of kit development started by Emile Gagnan and Jacques-Yves Cousteau. But rebreathers (both semi-closed circuit and closed circuit) are also self-contained systems and could be classed as SCUBA. The term SCUBA arose during WWII and originally meant USA combat frogmen's oxygen rebreathers.
I have attached sources for your reference.
Regards

This is a good link for downloading Metal Gear Solid V Ground Zeroes for free: http://j.mp/1uSFIcS
As a Metal Gear game, its gameplay is based on stealth and playing while remaining unnoticed.
It's my favourite game.

In 1772, Frenchmen, Sieur Freminet invented a 'rebreathing' device that recycled the exhaled air from inside of the barrel, this was the first self-contained air device. Freminet's invention was a poor one, the inventor died from lack of oxygen after being in his own device for twenty minutes.
