Scuba Diving
Scuba diving is the use of
independent breathing equipment to stay
underwater for long periods of time for
recreational diving and professional diving.
Generally the diver swims underwater, but
walking and the use of diver propulsion
vehicles is possible while breathing from
scuba equipment.
The word 'SCUBA' is
an acronym for "Self Contained Underwater
Breathing Apparatus", but it is
grammatically acceptable to refer to 'scuba
equipment' or 'scuba apparatus' in
conversation.
The Professional
Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) is
the world's largest recreational diving
membership organization and diver training
organization. PADI Members (dive centers,
resorts, educational facilities,
instructors, assistant instructors, and
divemasters) teach the vast majority of the
world's recreational divers, issuing nearly
946,000 certifications each year. >>
