SCUBA (Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus)

SCUBA, or Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus, is a device that allows divers to breathe underwater independently of surface air sources. It consists of a tank of compressed air, regulators to control airflow, and other equipment to ensure safe breathing at various depths. This setup enables divers to explore underwater environments freely for extended periods, observing marine life or conducting tasks. Proper training is essential to operate SCUBA equipment safely, as it involves managing pressure changes and avoiding risks such as decompression sickness or equipment failure.
