A diferencia del buceo inicial, que se basó exclusivamente en el aire bombeado desde la superficie, los buzos llevan su propia fuente de gas respiratorio (por lo general de aire comprimido ), lo que les permite una mayor libertad que con una línea de aire y permanecer bajo el agua mucho más tiempo que con la técnica de retención de aliento que se usa en el buceo libre. 2, record 2, Spanish, - submarinismo

L'Avalung a été inventé par le Dr. Crowley [...] Il ressemble à un harnais et fonctionne un peu comme un tuba de plongée. Grâce à un embout que l'on place dans sa bouche et un tuyau souple, on peut inspirer l'air qui se trouve dans la neige au contact d’un petit filet maillé(retenant la neige), situé au niveau de l'abdomen. L'expiration se fait par le même embout, mais l'air expiré ne vient jamais vicier l'air inspiré, puisqu'il est rejeté dans le dos de la victime. Il pèse 265 g. 3, record 4, French, - Avalung
