The present invention is an apparatus for urgently supplying air necessary for underwater breathing to a person who works underwater while holding his/her breath. In the present invention, an air pocket is built in a protective case, and the air once inhaled is stored in the air pocket and recycled. The underwater breathing apparatus can extend the underwater stay time of underwater workers, can increase the effect of underwater work, can avoid an emergency with shortness of breath, and is effective in preventing suffocation due to respiratory failure while staying in the water. A number of water entrances are provided in the emergency underwater breathing apparatus, and a cylindrical support net with built-in air pockets is embedded in the protective case in the transverse direction. 본 발명은 가쁜 숨을 참아가며 수중작업을 하는 자에게 수중호흡에 필요한 공기를 긴급하게 공급하는 장치로서, 보호케이스에 공기주머니를 내장하고, 한번 흡입한 공기를 공기주머니에 저장하였다가 재활용할 수 있도록 구성되는 응급 수중호흡장치인데, 이 수중호흡장치는 수중작업자의 수중체류시간을 연장시킬 수 있고, 수중작업효과를 증대시킬 수 있으며, 호흡이 가쁜 응급한 상황을 모면할 수 있으므로 수중체류시 호흡 불능으로 인한 질식사를 예방하는 효과가 있다.
