Scuba Diving

Scuba Diving Tank As scuba diving is a popular recreational sport, beautiful coral reefs and eerie shipwrecks around the world have become major tourist draws in their own right. Scuba diving is a form of underwater diving in which a diver uses a scuba set to breathe underwater.

completely independent of a surface air supply. The name “scuba”, an acronym for ” Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus “,. Scuba divers carry their own source of breathing gas , usually compressed air , affording them greater independence and movement than surface-supplied divers , and more time underwater than free divers. [ Although the use of compressed air is common, a gas blend with a higher oxygen content, known as enriched air or nitrox , has become popular due to the reduced nitrogen intake during long and/or repetitive dives. Also, breathing gas diluted with helium may be used to reduce the likelihood and effects of nitrogen narcosis during deeper dives.
