Aqua-Lung U.S. Divers
Vintage Horse Collar Buoyancy Compensator Vest
Manual Oral Inflator and CO2 Mechanism

This vintage U.S. Divers Aqua-Lung horse collar buoyancy vest represents a classic era of underwater exploration equipment. Established by Jacques-Yves Cousteau and Émile Gagnan, the Aqua-Lung brand became synonymous with the birth of modern scuba diving. This specific model features the iconic yellow and black "U.S. Divers Aqua-Lung" logo on the lower front and was designed for surface flotation and buoyancy control during the mid-20th century. Due to its age, this item is being sold strictly as a collectible for display purposes only and should not be used for life-support or active diving.
