Scuba diving is one way to dive. It gives the diver an opportunity to explore the underwater world and its inhabitants and for longer than with other forms of diving. It also makes it possible to explore shipwrecks, film or photograph underwater life or it can be just a way to relax in a peaceful place where it feels like there is no gravity.
