Freediving Vacations, Skin Diving, and the Planet

The Wonder of Skin Diving: Everybody knows what scuba diving is; simple fact is that diver to the air scuba tank on his back and a mouthpiece, also known as a scuba regulatorThe standard scuba set-up might be a tank of compressed oxygen using the diver's back, by way of a line up to a mouth piece. The oxygen is delivered through a scuba regulator, allowing the diver to breathe. Your carbon dioxide is then either circulated into the water, or, in self-contained systems or rebreathers, back into the tank. Few people actually know that scuba stands for something, however. The keyword 'scuba' is in fact an acronym for "Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus". Scuba diving is, of course, different from unassisted diving.
