Scuba Diving – Underwater diving with a scuba unit, as a human activity, is the practice of descending below the water’s surface to interact with the environment.

Freediving – free-diving, free diving, breath-hold diving, or skin diving is a form of underwater diving that relies on breath-holding until resurfacing rather than the use of breathing apparatus such as scuba gear.

Technical diving – (also referred to as Tec diving or tech diving) is scuba diving exceeding the agency-specified limits of recreational diving for non-professional purposes? Technical diving may expose the diver to hazards beyond those normally associated with recreational diving, and to a greater risk of serious injury or death.

Commercial diving – may be considered an application of professional diving where the diver engages in underwater work for industrial, construction, engineering, maintenance, or other commercial purposes which are similar to work done out of the water, and where the diving is usually secondary to the work.

Scuba diving is one of the easiest to learn. While you’re gliding around enjoying the underwater sights, you’re engaged in only three basic skills: floating, kicking, and breathing.
Of course, there’s more to it than that, becoming proficient at using the equipment and developing knowledge of scuba concepts and safety procedures, but if you can breathe through your mouth, chances are you can learn to scuba dive.

The necessary skills are not tough for most people to master. During scuba certification class, you’re taught the effects of increased water pressure and safe scuba diving practices. You rehearse equipment-related skills in controlled water setting until you feel comfortable, as well as practice what to do if things don’t go as planned.

The bulky scuba gear worn by many divers may seem intimidating, but learning to use it is straightforward. If you’ve snorkeled, you’re already familiar with the mask, snorkel, and fins. The scuba unit consists of an air cylinder containing compressed breathing gas, a buoyancy compensator (BC) jacket to help you float on the surface and maintain your desired depth underwater, and a regulator for you to breathe through. The exposure protection keeps you warm when diving in cool-water environments.

You don’t need to be a strong swimmer or an athlete to scuba dive, but some degree of comfort in the water certainly helps. Even if you enter scuba training with less than total confidence in your water skills, by the time you receive your first certification card, your comfort level will be greatly increased.

Learning to scuba dive is mostly a matter of attitude. If you are motivated to step through the door into an exciting new world, then the experience will prove both energizing and confidence-building.
