ABSTRACT:
A life safety vest for white water rafting, canoeing and kayaking, with scuba air breathing apparatus. A life safety vest of the conventional kind worn about the torso, having front and rear panels that incorporate sections of flotation material, is modified by creating recesses in the flotation sections of the rear panel to receive and store miniature scuba compressed air tanks. Left and right breast pockets are provided on the front panels for storing a scuba mouthpiece and demand regulator. A flexible air hose has one end attached to the mouthpiece and demand regulator and an opposite end attached to a T-coupling. The T-coupling is also attached by hollow tubing to each of the scuba air tanks. A rigid safety cover is provided to cover the upper portion of each tank, including an air regulator mounted atop each tank, which secures the breathing apparatus from damage due to mechanical stresses and shocks in the event of a white water boating accident.
