S.C.U.B.A. is an acronym for Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus.

No one should attempt to use Scuba gear unless they are trained. While scuba is a safe sport, proper training is required. Check with your local clubs for instruction courses.

Safety is always first; knowing where you are diving, the wave patterns, high/low tide, and of course the weather. Besides those things, proper equipment and knowing your limits. But once all of those have been handled, it is all about going out on a dive an enjoying yourself, BRING A CAMERA!

Scuba Diver. n.

One who uses scuba gear in underwater swimming

In other words, they're people who dive underwater in wetsuits usually with oxygen tanks on their backs so that they can breathe, and goggles on so that they can see stuff underwater.

SCUBA diving can be used for recreational purposes where divers can explore wrecks or reefs or marine life. Diving can also be used in a commercial setting by engineers for example who carry out construction and maintenance tasks underwater.

Diving is also used by the police when they need to explore expanses of water for various reasons.

Other professionals may use diving such as marine biologists who are out to examine fish and other marine life in a conservation capacity

They are both sports. They mainly take place in the water. Swimming is when you swim, diving is when you dive.
