Best Answer

A diver can always stay as long as they want if they have enough gas to breath and do any required decompression. But if you are asking what the time limit is on air without having any required decompression time, the answer would be about 5 minutes which includes your descent time or about 3 minutes on the bottom.

Why do people scuba dive?

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 is the difference between sub aqua diving and scuba diving?

Not necessarily. It just depends on what someone means. Scuba diving is only when you use a scuba tank or cylinder that a diver carries.
