Scuba Diving

     When you see a lake or an ocean, do you want to know what is under the water?  Many people do.  So they learn how to dive down into the water.  They take lessons to scuba dive.  The lessons teache sage ways to dive and swim under water.

    Scuba divers use scuba gear. The gear they wear is a face mask, a wet suit, a belt, and swim fins.  Scuba divers can dive from 60 to 130 feet down.  They can stay under water because they have an air tank.  They use the air in the tank to breathe.  With one air tank a diver can stay under water for one hour.

     There are many things to do under water.  Some scuba divers work under the water.  They fix ships or look for lost treasures.  Other divers study the ocean.  Many dive just for the fun of watching fish.
