Best Answer

People Scuba dive because it enables them to stay underwater much longer than they would be able to do so without breathing apparatus. SCUBA stands for self contained underwater breathing apparatus. It is different from surface feed or Hooka diving where air is pumped down because it gives you more freedom. People have been able to hold their breath for up to 8 minutes but when you move about you can only hold your breath a short time. Taking an air supply means you can spend a long time underwater without being restricted by an air pipe from the surface.

What type of verbal is to scuba dive?

It is very hard to, but you can. You mostly communicate with hand signals in scuba diving, however. There are expensive tools to communicate with a type of 2-way radio underwater.AdditionActually you can. There are several ways. One is through bone conduction, If you place your chin on the other divers head and then talk, you can be understood. If you are close to their ear, you can also just talk. And still another way is if you have a glove, you can take it off and fill it with air and then talk into the glove. Of course the closer you are to their ear the easier they can understand you. If you are wearing hoods, these methods are more difficult to be understood.
