As I remember, that is how I learned. My brother had hooked a regulator to a vacume cleaner, then plugged the hose into the exhaust hole. He put a weight belt on me and threw me in the deap end of our pool with the regulator. Of course, he had not tested it himself yet. When I got out, I wanted to kill him, but he was a lot bigger than me. Laughing, he asked "Were you able to breath?" My older brother taught me how to scuba dive 30 years ago. I never got my license till I was forced to about 10 years ago or so when things started getting strict.
