What is Scuba?
Scuba diving is a mode of underwater diving in which the scuba diver uses a self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (SCUBA) which is completely independent of surface supply, to breathe underwater. Unlike other modes of diving, which rely either on breath-hold or on breathing supplied under pressure from the surface, scuba divers carry their own source of breathing gas, usually compressed air, allowing them greater freedom of movement than with an air line or diver’s umbilical and longer underwater endurance than breath-hold.
