My wife and I really like scuba diving, it's so much fun.
I have never been scuba diving. It is using a self-contained breathing apparatus to dive in the water.
Yeah and it's awesome because you can see all the underwater life!
I have been snorkeling, which is using a tube to breathe underwater. Wetsuits can be worn as well.
Oh yeah that's cool too. It's easier because all you have to do is put on the mask and you're ready to go, but it's more limiting.
Yeah, it is more limiting. A diving suit allows you to go deep underwater.
Yeah and the same for the oxygen supply during scuba diving, you can just be part of the ocean or sea this way,a t least for a while.
I was following the scuba rescue of the Thai boys in the cave. I'm so glad they were able to get them out.
Oh wow, that's amazing, I'm so happy they got back all safe.
Cave diving
Cave diving is underwater diving in water-filled caves. It may be done as an extreme sport, a way of exploring flooded caves for scientific investigation, or for the search for and recovery of divers lost while diving for one of these reasons. The equipment used varies depending on the circumstances, and ranges from breath hold to surface supplied, but almost all cave diving is done using scuba equipment, often in specialised configurations with redundancies such as sidemount or backmounted twinset. Recreational cave diving is generally considered to
provide more efficient propulsion. A short breathing tube called a snorkel allows the diver to breathe at the surface while the face is immersed. Snorkelling on the surface with no intention of diving is a popular water sport and recreational activity.
Diving modes Scuba diving.
Scuba diving is diving with a self-contained underwater breathing apparatus, which is completely independent of surface supply. Scuba gives the diver mobility and horizontal range far beyond the reach of an umbilical hose attached to surface-supplied diving equipment (SSDE).
