sport diving
Sport diving, often called scuba diving, is an activity where individuals dive underwater using specialized equipment like a tank of compressed air, a regulator, and a wetsuit. It allows people to explore marine environments, observe marine life, and experience underwater landscapes safely. Divers receive training to manage buoyancy, navigation, and safety procedures, ensuring a controlled and enjoyable experience. The sport emphasizes responsible diving practices to protect both divers and the fragile ecosystems they visit. It can be pursued recreationally, professionally, or competitively, offering unique access to the underwater world beyond the capabilities of surface swimming or snorkeling.
