A self contained breathing apparatus, or SCBA is a device worn by rescue workers, firefighters, and others to provide breathable air in a hostile environment. When not used underwater, they are sometimes called industrial breathing sets. The term "self-contained" differentiates SCBA from other apparatus connected to a remote supply by a long hose. If designed for use under water, it is called SCUBA, or self-contained underwater breathing apparatus.
An SCBA typically has three main components: a high-pressure tank (e.g., 2200 psi to 4500 psi), a pressure regulator, and an inhalation connection (mouthpiece, mouth mask or face mask), connected together and mounted to a carrying frame.

spy kids is not based on real world tech, and i don't remember the oceans 12 incident but it's probably either a snorkel or it has a tiny tank for short term use. i think some lifeguards have a 8 inch or so long oxygen tank they use on rescues in a few places, but it's not common.

only save drunking them under. they'll study to close thier mouths. I took my one 300 and sixty 5 days old son the the pool for the 1st time and every time he fell (it became right into a infant pool, private end he ought to stand up in devoid of the water going over his head) he would get lower back up. on occasion he would swollow somewhat water, yet at last he found out to close his mouth and carry his breath. And after going under a pair of dozen circumstances, he would carry his breath mid fall and practice for going under. It did no longer take long in any respect. by ability of the top of the day he became right into a expert. toddlers study the thank you to do issues like that particularly rapid. only save dunking them under, they'll study.

What you are referring to is called " Spare Air" it is a very tiny compressed air tank that can supply a several breathes of air depending on the depth of water you are in, they are used by rescue personnel and scuba divers as an emergency air source and are not intended for any other use but emergencies.

I think you're talking about Snorkels. They are a bit above the water while you are under it so you can breathe air.
It's a long tube shaped sort of like a J.
