Scuba Diving

Scuba diving is an underwater activity that involves swimming beneath the surface while breathing through a self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (SCUBA). This equipment includes a tank of compressed air or other breathing gases, a regulator to deliver air at ambient pressure, a buoyancy control device to manage flotation, fins for mobility, and a diving mask for clear vision underwater. The word “scuba” is an acronym for “Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus.”
