Browning was an experienced diver when he got the part, and was able to hold his breath for up to four minutes at a time. Thus he was able to play the Gill Man without the need for the costume to have any kind of built-in air tanks.

This is very interesting, thank you! I get off on the old black & white fifties sci-fi movies, and I remember seeing that movie years ago.
