Scuba diving is a way of swimming underwater without having to come up for air every minute or so. Scuba divers wear scuba equipment, the most important of which is the oxygen tank or some other air source. With an oxygen tank, divers can stay underwater for a long time. Also important is the diving mask, which allows divers to clearly see fish, plants, rocks, sunken ships, or whatever else is around. Most divers also wear flippers resembling webbed feet that help them swim easily. And if the water is cold, specially designed suits can keep a diver warm.

After getting the equipment, the diver is ready to dive, right? Not quite. Diving is somewhat dangerous and it requires training. Most of the risks can easily be avoided if the diver knows how to be careful. If not, serious accidents can occur. If there's a problem with the air tank, the diver could end up stuck too far underwater to be able to get up in time to breathe. Also, divers have to avoid going down too far too quickly, because this can result in serious damage to the body.

Once you've had some training, though, you're ready to take a dive and explore a whole new world under the sea.
