 Scuba diving - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scuba diving is the use of independent breathing equipment to stay underwater for long periods of time for recreational diving and professional diving.
Diving suits also help prevent the diver's skin being damaged by rough or sharp underwater objects and marine animals and coral.
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.
