Original Research[edit]

I am moving this section here until someone can actually cite a 3rd source indicating that the equipment used was anachronistic and not an editor's opinion. Feel free to move it back once there is a citation. Xenomorph erotica (talk) 05:24, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Equipment errors

The film's frogmen's equipment was very wrong and anachronistic. The breathing sets shown were open-circuit and were merely a very fat cylinder crosswise across the belly, with a black single-hose second-stage regulator such as was not invented until the 1960s. Also shown were ordinary sport scuba weight belts and ordinary eyes-and-nose diving masks with elliptical windows. The frogmen in the real war operation mostly used Sladen suits and an early type of Siebe Gorman rebreather.^{[original research?]}^{[citation needed]}
