Salvas ARO for movie Vulcano 1948
The rebreather shown here was previously published by F. Rambelli in HDS Italy 2001 No. 18. It is an experimental model commissioned by the filmmakers for the film Vulcano found on Youtube with mention under 1950. The breathing apparatus was made by the company Salvas from Italy. I would be particularly pleased to receive additional information or photos of this device.
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!
