Scuba Diving – All there is to know about

History behind ‘SCUBA'

Scuba is an acronym that stands for self contained underwater breathing apparatus. The name for such an apparatus, first successfully tested in 1943, was formed by taking the first letter of each word in the phrase and putting them together to form a single word. Scuba, like other acronyms, has a vowel at a point that allows it to be pronounced like an English word. The word, first recorded in 1952, has been so widely adopted that people rarely think of it as a collection of initials and use it in forming other words, such as scuba-dive. In fact, a verb scuba was first recorded in 1973 and is still in use.

Originally made popular by Jacques-Yves Cousteau and Emile Gagnan, who built the Aqualung (a term still prevalent in Britain to describe Scuba equipment), Scuba diving is now enjoyed by millions of people worldwide ranging from locations with temperate tropical waters to under-ice sub-arctic diving.

What is ‘scuba diving'?

Scuba diving offers you a chance to see underwater (lakes/oceans) life. Scuba divers wear equipment which allows the divers to stay below the water's surface for long periods of time. Scuba diving is a recreational activity for some as one will get a chance to see the beauty that lives in the ocean waters. Scuba diving is practiced also for commercial, scientific, and military purposes as well.

Where do you scuba dive?

Scuba divers enjoy diving in lakes, river's waters, etc. although the first place that comes to mind is the pristine ocean waters.

How to become a scuba diver?

To become a scuba diver, you should enroll in a beginner's scuba diving class, where you will learn the skills required of a knowledgeable scuba diver, such as

• equipment usage,

• defense techniques and

• ocean awareness training.

Usually all scuba divers wear and use the same equipment, though some divers in colder areas will add equipment. Few key equipment pieces are:

• fins,

• a mask,

• a tank - The tank is worn on a scuba diver's back. It is used to supply air to the diver while the diver is in the water.

• Gauges - Depth and pressure gauges provide scuba divers with vital information about their whereabouts and their condition.

• a watch – A diver's watch, as all watches don't survive underwater pressure.

• Depending on the water's temperature, divers will also wear a wet or dry suit, a hood and gloves.

• A compass will also assist the diver while he is under water.

Scuba diving for fun:

Recreational divers enjoy exploring the ocean's beauty. It is fun to swim alongside sharks, fish, whales, dolphins, sea turtles, also finding shipwrecks and other remains can be a delightful experience. You will not forget the picturesque ocean plants, anemones, and similar ocean life during your dive. Beginning divers can practice the basics in shallow water or in pools. Beginning scuba divers are not allowed to go beyond a depth of 60 feet (18 meters).

Scuba diving for work:

• Commercial divers use their scuba skills to help companies in their preparation for projects such as ocean oil drilling and bridge construction.

• Scientists also make use of scuba equipment to study the multiple components of marine biology.

• Special Forces in the military are trained as scuba divers to provide scuba expertise when required.

Full mask clearing help (scuba diving)?

I am a 14 year old boy near the end of passing my PADI Open Water Diver Course!
I have enjoyed every minute of it and cannot wait to start my open water dives this Saturday after my Dry Suit pool dive on Friday. But have one small problem with full mask clearing, I can clear it fine when I fully flood it by just pulling it from my face to let water pour completely in, but it is when i have to take it completely off my head, then breathe, put it on again and clear it. I was just wandering if anyone had any useful tips on how to take it off, breathe, put it back on and clear it?. My instructor is very helpful and got me to tilt my head to the side while breathing with the mask off so that the bubbles from my regulator do not go up my nose and make me want to breathe through my nose. Any other tips would be greatly appreciated!

First, try to relax while your mask is off. I've had many students demonstrate this same difficulty - they have no problems flooding and clearing the mask while it remains in place but as soon as they remove the mask their breathing rate increases and their movements start to get panicky as they rush to replace the mask and clear it. Instead, relax and focus on your breathing - as long as you have air you are fine and your air supply does not depend on your mask at all.

To make this skill easier, try leaning forward while you remove your mask so that you are facing more towards the bottom instead of straight ahead. My experience is that this tends to keep water from wanting to come up through the nose and so makes mouth breathing a bit easier. You can also try to keep some positive air pressure in your nose to keep water out. After you finish exhaling while your mask is off, consciously pause for a moment and concentrate on making your next breath come only through the regulator in your mouth...try to focus on only opening the oral airway as you inhale so that there is no air movement at all through the nasal airway. This is the same sensation you would feel if you pinch your nose shut as you inhale, only instead of pinching your nose shut with your hand you would use your throat muscles to similarly isolate the nasal passageway.

Finally, keep leaning forward while you get your mask back in place and sealed...only start to look upwards as you begin to exhale through your nose to clear the mask. This again helps keep water from entering your nose and causing that choking sensation. If you do find yourself choking on water...again, don't panic. You will feel like you can't breathe in for a moment or two, but if you just relax and give your body a chance to do its thing it will remember how to open the airway again and allow air to enter. Always remember that panic is your absolute worst enemy while diving.

Good luck! I'm sure you will manage to get through this skill fine with a little more practice.
