∙ 13y agoScuba divers require a few pieces of equipment in order to breathe under water. Obviously, they will need a tank containing the compressed air. These tanks can vary in size. Attached to that will be the first stage of the system which separates into a few hoses. One hose being the main breathing apparatus and another to the backup. Attached to the second stage is a regulator, which is the piece that actually goes in your mouth and used to breathe through.
