In this video I’ll show you how I get dressed into my custom made mens vintage smooth thick rubber scuba diving wetsuit and finish the video wearing my complete scuba gear on so I’m ready to dive. I start the video standing in my U.S. Divers lycra dive skin with a black hood. I put each foot and leg into the smooth, thick, rubber farmer john pants and then pull the smooth, thick, rubber wet suit up past my waist and then over my shoulders. I fasten the velcro strap on my left shoulder and then I reach for my smooth, thick, rubber scuba diving booties. Each foot easily slides into the slip-on custom made booties. Then I put an ankle wieght on each foot followed by a knife on each leg. Now, I grab my pair of Scubapro fins and put them on each foot. I grab my custom made smooth, thick, rubber wetsuit hood and I slide it over my face. Next comes the smooth ,thick, rubber beavertail wetsuit jacket. I zip up the zipper and fasten the smooth rubber beavertail flap between my legs. My vintage lead weight belt goes around my waist and then I grab my US Divers Cousteau BCD with all the accessories already attached and I throw it over my head and onto my rubber wetsuit covered shoulders. I put the Interspiro mask onto my face and I begin to breath through the compressed air in my U.S. Divers 80 cubic foot aluminum tank. I turn around so you can see all the equipment and then the video ends. Watch my other video of me undressing from this smooth rubber wetsuit and equiipment.

The history of scuba diving is very interesting. Many civilizations throughout time have engaged in breath-hold diving, also known as free-diving. The evidence of early free-diving is the finding of sea items found on land and ancient pictures of divers. These civilizations used free-diving to spearfish and also in competitions. The Ancient Greeks are known free-divers. They used free-diving to hunt for sponges and also in their military.

Some of the early attempts in the history of scuba diving to dive with the use of air include snorkeling with hollow reeds, using air-filled bags and diving bells. Diving bells are watertight chambers on cables. The diving bell is designed to remain full of air as it is pushed under water, allowing a few divers to be transported. These methods were not very efficient, however, and did not nearly resemble scuba diving as we know it today. The reeds did not allow divers to go deep into the water and air-filled bags soon filled with carbon-monoxide as the air was exhaled. Diving bells did not allow the divers much mobility.
