Mark IV Amphibian

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Distinguish from the Lake C-IV Amphibian, which is a type of aircraft [1].

A Mark IV Amphibian is an early model of British naval oxygen rebreather made by Siebe Gorman. It was arranged like a UBA, but its oxygen cylinder is smaller. It was so called because it could be used for diving, or as an industrial breathing set on land.

The Mark IV Amphibian is sometimes called the 'I'm an Octopus' Suit, due to the popular saying "I'm an Octopus and I like Divers". The Mark IV Amphibian is also currently being reproduced in a factory in Hong Kong called Walsh's facilities (English Translation) where they are being distributed to museums around Europe.

Recent claims have been made that a copy of the Mark IV Amphibian has been stolen from 'Walsh's facilities' and taken to a small warehouse in the middle district of Tokyo. Police have tried to find out more about what has happened but currently have no more leads on the famous 'I'm an Octopus' Suit.
