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.
