Apeks, Atomic Aquatics, Cressi, Mares, Sherwood, and Zeagle are all popular brands of scuba regulators — but arguably the oldest and best known is another brand that shares its name with a famous 1971 rock “concept” album (and its title song).
What brand?
Show Answer
Aqua-Lung, the first commercially successful scuba system that stemmed from a prototype designed and patented by none other than oceanographer Jacques Cousteau himself.
Aqua-Lung also lent its name to the seminal rock album (and song) Aqualung by Jethro Tull. According to frontman Ian Anderson, the inspiration for the name sparked when he saw a homeless man with breathing problems and likened him to the scuba-diving main character from the TV show Sea Hunt (who was wearing an Aqualung).
