I have been searching and searching but couldnt find it!!
Answers:
G'day DJM,
Thank you for your question.
Emile Gagnan and acques-Yves Cousteau are normally credited with inventing scuba gear in 1943.
The word 'SCUBA' is an acronym for "Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus", but it has become acceptable to refer to 'scuba equipment' or 'scuba apparatus'. The term SCUBA in common usage usually means open-circuit equipment in which gas (usually air) is breathed from a tank of compressed gas and then exhaled into the water, usually in the line of kit development started by Emile Gagnan and Jacques-Yves Cousteau. But rebreathers (both semi-closed circuit and closed circuit) are also self-contained systems and could be classed as SCUBA. The term SCUBA arose during WWII and originally meant USA combat frogmen's oxygen rebreathers.
I have attached sources for your reference.

I believe that was Jaque Cousteau or however he spelled his name.
The US navy developed a lot of the equipment and technology, the cartoon character Popeye was the result of one of their experiments, and an early survivor of bends, which is nitrogen bubbles in the blood from improper decompression, he was a real man , and actually looked like the toon
cousteau invented the scuba gear. popeye indeed! lol
Emile Gagnan and Jacques-Yves Cousteau
Jacques Cousteau invented scuba gear while in the French resistance during World War II. ..
I went to www.ask.com and typed in your question and it came up.
In 1772, Frenchmen, Sieur Freminet invented a 'rebreathing' device that recycled the exhaled air from inside of the barrel, this was the first self-contained air device. Freminet's invention was a poor one, the inventor died from lack of oxygen after being in his own device for twenty minutes.
Jacques Yves Cousteau he use to have a t.v. program called the undersea world of Jacques Cousteau his boat was a converted french minesweeper call the Calypso i think if my memory serves me correct
scuba gear ( Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus ) was invented by the Frenchman Jacques Cousteau.
Reminds me when I went home with a fat bird. I said I was going to get the rubber and she said,"Durex?". I said,"No, Scuba."
The late Jacques Cousteau - a French explorer & adventurer.
Those were the days! When Jacques Cousteau's programmes were the best thing on the telly of a Sunday afternoon! It was him of course.
Jacques Cousteau invented the self contained underwater breathing apparatus which later become commonly known as scuba gear
I think it developed over time by many people
