Summary: Scuba diving is defined by the use of underwater diving that is extended by the use of a self-contained breathing apparatus. 'Scuba' is actually an acronym for “Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus.” Scuba equipment usually consists of a tank of breathable air, a tube leading to the mouth piece, fins worn on the feet to propel the diver, a diving suit, and sometimes a DPV (diver propulsion vehicle) or 'scooter' used to move the diver around quickly. The term scuba was first used during World War II and referred to combat frogmen’s oxygen rebreathers (both semi-closed circuit and closed circuit).
