Scuba diving began in the early 20th century with the development of self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (SCUBA). The first successful use of such devices can be traced back to 1943 when Jacques Cousteau and Émile Gagnan created the Aqua-Lung, which allowed divers to explore underwater more freely. Prior to this, underwater exploration was limited to surface-supplied air systems and free diving. The invention of SCUBA revolutionized underwater exploration, leading to both recreational and scientific diving activities.
