Here is a video I found on Youtube of two kids diving in there pool with homemade scuba gear.

Here is a brief descripton form the site of how the kid made it:
This is some home-made scuba gear me and my friend put together summer of '06.
The main air tank is actually a garden sprayer, and holds about 8 liters (2 gallons) of air compressed at 40psi. The tank is encased in concrete to make it neutrally boyant. The tubes across my chest are filled with rocks, and help neutralize our bouyancy. This design allows us to dive for 2 minutes straight, 10 or 11 feet underwater. This whole setup cost us about $55.
We now have much better scuba gear, with a 10 gallon tank that can hold 80psi. It allows us to dive for 15 minutes straight at a depth of 10 or 11 feet. The new setup cost about $60.
Needless to say, don't try this at home.
