It has been driven primarily by the information and communication technology revolution andâin the case of farm productsâby reductions in governmental distortions to agricultural production, consumption and trade.

Definition of skin diver. : a person who engages in the sport of activity of swimming underwater with special equipment (such as a face mask, snorkel, and flippers) but without a diving suit or air tank.
Skin diving in my opinion is the ultimate gateway sport to scuba diving and provides an excellent foundation from which to learn the sport. Where skin-diving used to be mastered in scuba training it is now glossed over all too frequently leaving students overwhelmed with new equipment and lacking in basic skills.
