McGregor built a suit from 3 dresses. No new features in this invention. The suit was simular to the Murray and Stuart suit.
A patent taken out in 1906 by Archibald McGregor, of Queensland , recalls that of Murray and Stuart, since it provides the diver with three separate dresses. In this case, however, an ordinary diving-dress goes on first and another similar dress last! Between the two are various separate pieces of armour, to fit trunk, arms, legs and feet, none of these being watertight. Twin-armoured air-pipes are fitted, and the diver is further provided with an enclosing cage of open grillwork— presumably to safeguard him from sharks!

Therebreathersite was founded by Jan Willem Bech in 1999. After a diving career of many years, he decided to start technical diving in 1999. He immediately noticed that at that time there was almost no website that contained the history of closed breathing systems. The start for the website led to a huge collection that offered about 1,300 pages of information until 2019. In 2019, a fresh start was made with the website now freely available online for everyone. Therebreathersite is a source of information for divers, researchers, technicians and students. I hope you enjoy browsing the content!
