Answer
The Aqua-Lung is based on the Self-contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus, or Scuba, which allows divers to breathe underwater without being tethered to the surface by a hose. Scuba consists of a tank of compressed air, a regulator that controls the flow of air to the diver's mouth, and a buoyancy compensator that helps the diver maintain neutral buoyancy.
