Embodiments of this invention relate to emergency breathing devices and more particularly relate to air containments for use while under water. In a typical water and underwater recreational activity, a user may find himself in need of air. Air Bubble is an air- and water-impermeable reservoir intended for use under water. Similar ideas have been contrived in an attempt to extend the breathing time of a fully buried avalanche victim by extracting the oxygen out of the snow. Other devices employ oxygen tanks in order to provide additional oxygen to the user; however, these devices do not contain a reservoir with stored air. Similar ideas can be found for the purpose of drinking water or other liquids while exercising outdoors, but those bags serve a different purpose than the Air Bubble; they are for drinking liquids, while the Air Bubble is for accessing stored breathable air while under water.
