Topic: Snuba


  
  Snuba - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Snuba is a portmanteau word formed from "snorkel" and "scuba".
Snuba diving is a popular activity in tropical tourist locations such as Hawaii because of its relative ease and because one need not be certified to participate.
As the snuba diver is breathing compressed air, there is a risk of injury due to barotrauma even at shallow depths if the diver descends or ascends without equalising the gas pressure in air spaces such as the ears and lungs, with the surrounding water pressure.

 SNUBA - Carole's TravelQUEST
The popular activity of snorkeling limits the "diver" to underwater exploration by restricting the depth of the adventure by the length of the snorkel (tube) and the breathing capacity of the diver.
With SNUBA, the diver, although restricted to the depth of a dive by an air line to the water’s surface, is prevented from entering increasing water pressures (and problems) that face the SCUBA diver.
The result is that the SNUBA diver, like the snorkel diver, can spend a much longer period of underwater exploration but at a deeper depth.
