Jaques Cousteau
A short history of the invention of the aqua lung
During the 1940s, Jaques Cousteau is credited with inventing the aqua-lung design which developed into the scuba diving technology that is used today. However, the reality is somewhat different. Whilst having a big input into the eventual final aqua lung, it was a combination he put together that really made the invention possible.
According to Jaques Cousteau’s first book, The Silent World: A Story of Undersea Discovery and Adventure published in 1953, there is a story to the eventual final aqua lung product. In 1926 Commander Yves le Prieur invented the self-contained underwater breathing apparatus, and Jaques Cousteau first started his diving in 1936 by utilising Fernez goggles. In 1939 Jaques Cousteau was able to use Commander Yves le Prieur’s apparatus. However, Cousteau was not satisfied at all with the amount of time he was able to spend underwater with the Le Prieur apparatus, so he set about improving it so that he could extend the underwater duration. Jaques Cousteau managed to do this by adding a demand regulator, a device that was itself invented in 1942 by Émile Gagnan. In 1943 Cousteau put these elements together and tried out the first prototype of the aqua-lung. This was a great success, and after some more development this design eventually made extended underwater exploration possible, and the rigs we see today, such as the Oceanic Veo 100 NX.
