What is scuba diving?
SCUBA (Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus) is a device, which enables the diver to breathe normally underwater using compressed air in a tank, which is supplied to the user through a hose to a breathing regulator held in the mouth. Some divers swim using fins while others may simply walk on the bottom. There are several variations of diving equipment but the description here fits most diving situations.

You have a tank of compressed air on your back and you breathe the air in through a regulator. For a complete explanation of scuba diving, click on the link above.
