Scuba diving is nothing but a special underwater swimming technique. The specialty of this kind of underwater swimming is that this technique uses a special ‘scuba set’ while swimming. A scuba diver swims underwater using a typical source of any ‘breathing gas’ (compressed air in general), which helps him to stay under the water for a longer period of time. The scuba divers perform the scuba diving with the help of the fins in general. Along with that, they also uses the ‘diver propulsion vehicle’ to perform the discipline of the scuba diving under the water. The DPV is also known as the scooter.
There are some basic facts about the scuba diving, which needs some serious notice. While swimming under the water a scuba diver should be careful about the following facts. Two main problems created while swimming under the water the water are regarding the pressure of the water and the problems created because of the ‘high pressure’ breathing gas. There are mainly three problems created because of the ‘high pressure’ breathing gas. First of all, it can cause the ‘decompression sickness’. Secondly, it may cause the problems of the nitrogen narcosis. Thirdly, it is not impossible to face the problems of the ‘oxygen toxicity’, while using the ‘high pressure’ breathing gas.
It is also essential to learn the arts of avoiding the loss of the body heat and the underwater injuries while performing the discipline of the scuba diving. So it is very much important to be trained properly before performing this act of scuba diving.
