Activity Holiday Insurance

Scuba Diving

Scuba diving is a popular holiday recreation which involves descending into open water, usually the sea, but occasionally estuaries or lakes, and remaining below the surface to explore, to work, or simply to have fun. Diving is popular all over the world. Snorkelling on the surface (or just below) is a common form of diving, but many people use scuba, which stands for self-contained underwater breathing apparatus. Scuba divers carry a tank of air that allows them to breathe while deep underwater.

The Professional Association of Dive Instructors (PADI) estimates that there are now around six million active divers worldwide. They engage in many different types of diving, the most common form of diving is sport diving, or recreational diving, which is practiced at depths of less than 130 ft (39 m). From these depths, divers can make a straight ascent to the surface. Diving beyond this limit requires advanced training.

It is an increasingly popular form of holiday in itself or is experienced as part of a holiday, especially in the warm seas of tropical destinations.
