The attractions and mystery of the underwater pushes the adventurers to try scuba diving. Scuba diving, as an outdoor activity became a multi-million dollar industry because of its popularity.

The innovation in underwater exploration has been around since 1700’s. Ancient swimmers scuba diving equipments are made up of one or more gas tanks buckled to the divers back with an air hose and a demand regulator connected to it. The flow of the air pressure within the diver’s lung was controlled by the demand regulator. Persian divers invented the basic eye goggles from a thinly sliced and polished shells of tortoises.

In 1990’s, the scuba equipment continued to develop gradually and the usual scuba system was enhanced by means of the vest’s flexibility, better valves and for underwater use pressure gauges.
