Yes, I need an article that talks about scuba diving, equipment, who enjoys it, so, basically the whole shammy.
People scuba dive for various reasons:-
It lets biologists and interested people get close to undersea life.
Each dive has something unusual to offer.
It is a different world down there.
It is very educational.
It lets people work underwater easily.
It is a relaxing outdoor activity.
It helps naval research.

Scuba diving is using self-contained breathing equipment to stay underwater for periods of time greater than human breath-holding ability allows. The diver carries all equipment necessary for diving and is not reliant upon equipment elsewhere (e.g. on the surface) to supply breathing gas or other support during the dive. The diver swims underwater using fins attached to the feet. Some divers also move around with the assistance of a DPV (Diver Propulsion Vehicle), commonly referred to as a "scooter", or by using surface-tethered devices called sleds, which are pulled by a boat.
The word ‘SCUBA’ is an acronym for "Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus", but it has become acceptable to refer to ‘scuba equipment’ or ‘scuba apparatus’. The term SCUBA in common usage usually means open-circuit equipment in which gas (usually air) is breathed from a tank of compressed gas and then exhaled into the water, usually in the line of kit development started by Emile Gagnan and Jacques-Yves Cousteau. However, rebreathers (both semi-closed circuit and closed circuit) are also self-contained systems (as opposed to surface-supplied systems) and could be classed as SCUBA. The term SCUBA arose during World War II and originally referred to USA combat frogmen’s oxygen rebreathers, developed by Dr. Christian Lambertsen for underwater warfare.
