Today's entry features a selection of covers from Popular Mechanics and Popular Science.

 

1928. I can only imagine that in 1928 the market for dive gear aimed at siamese twins was a bit bigger than today!

 

1933. "I told you we should have bought a lifting bag Harry!"

 

1951. Looks like these guys are wearing the three cylinder system used by Cousteau. I think Jacques missed a trick by not wearing a fetching blue or green wetsuit!

 

1952. I want one!

 

1953. Hmm, I might have to track down a copy of this one. With the price of dive gear the DIY option seems quite attractive.

 

1954. I wonder how many readers survived to try building an advanced diving outfit!
