Scuba diving became a sport in 1943, when Jacques Costeau and Emile Gagnan invented the aqualung. This portable tank (cilinder) which carries pressured oxigen inside, together with a device called scuba that allowed one to breath underwater, made possible what many people thought it couldn´t be. Nowadays the equipments are much more modern and even first timers can experience this awesome adventure. Be a fish for one day and go scuba diving!
