Re: history of...

In "Skin Diving and underwater exporing" by John Sweeney, the author describes skin diving, no gear in Bermuda in the mid 1930s and seeing his first mask and fins in about 1937. The gear came from France and was make in sizes small enough for young teenagers, so good chance it had been available for at least several years before that.
