- Summary
- COI synopsis: Twenty years ago people only dived in search of fish, pearls and sponges. Nowadays the invention of the aqualung has started a tremendous new development - the systematic underwater farming of the sea’s riches to help feed the people of the world. The delicate mechanism of the aqualung depends upon rubber of which the diving suits themselves are made.
