WATER SCUBA DIVING IN ABU DHABI
INTRODUCATION
Scuba diving is the best way to explore the incredible underwater world and
have a chance to close with the wonders and the secrets of this marine
universe, with the colorful and various occupants. Floating below the sky blue
waters, you are in an elegant or sometimes hostile environment with a
limited supply of air on your back. Over the years, Water scuba diving has
been expanded into a non-competitive but a very interesting adventure sport.
The full form of SCUBA is ‘Self Contained Underwater
Breathing Apparatus’. It has been developed by Jacques-Yves
Cousteau (with more help from Émile Gagnan) for the French
Navy during the Second World War(in the mid of 1940s). He is
a world-famous underwater explorer and environmentalist.
After the world war, diving turned into a recreational water
sport activity by millions worldwide.
EQUIPMENT
Gear is made up of one (or more) gas cylinder for modern scuba diving. It is
secured to the diver’s back. An air hose is attached to gas tank. This recent
device controls the flow of air so that the air pressure in the diver’s lungs is the
same as the pressure of the water. The gear/equipment used in diving is the
buoyancy control device (BCD), basically, it is an unflappable jacket that
controls your elasticity by adding or releasing air.
