Hi kohalanui,
Thank you for a most interesting question. The underwater breathing
device (First seen in Thunderball) is called the The Rebreather. :)

"Where would Bond be without the remarkable gadgets provided by Q
branch? Stabbed, shot, blown up, crushed, incinerated and otherwise
inconvenienced a thousand times over. For many years, Q has come up
with the most ingenious gadgets imaginable, from the tiniest
minuturised electronic wizardry to the guns and weapons that have
saved 007's life on numerous occasions."

Bond's Rebreather
http://www.hvu.info/backgrounds/specials/gadgets.html
"A small underwater breathing device, this is one gadget that saves
Bond's life. In Thunderball, 007 escapes certain death in Largo's
shark pool by using the rebreather to avoid drowning whilst swimming
to safety. It again comes to his aid later in the mission when he
engages Largo's henchmen in an epic underwater battle."

"The rebreather was featured in Thunderball. It was a pocket sized
oxygen tank that had about four minutes of air. It was issued by Q
when he followed Bond on the mission."

"Bond uses a pen-like underwater breathing system"

"Mini Breathing device:
This was a small pen-sized apparatus, which Bond could put in his
mouth to breathe with for up to 4 minutes at a time. He used it
extensively in the shark-pool, and the climactic underwater sequence."
