Scuba diving is a fun activity where you can swim and explore underwater like a fish! When you go scuba diving, you wear special gear that helps you breathe underwater.
You will wear something called a wetsuit that keeps you warm, as water can be really cold! You wear fins on your feet so that you can move better in the water, and a mask over your eyes so you can see.
At the top of your tank is a regulator, which attaches to your mouth, and the tank is filled with air that you can breathe. You will also wear a harness that holds your tank on your back, so you can swim around freely underwater.
Before you jump in the water, you'll learn important safety rules, like how to signal for help, how to check your gear, and how to breathe safely underwater. It's important that you listen carefully to these rules so that you stay safe while you're having fun underwater.
When you dive underwater, you'll see some cool things like fish, coral reefs, and other amazing creatures! You will use hand signals and communicate with your dive partner to show each other things you've found.
Scuba diving is a great way to explore the ocean and see things that you can't see from the surface. It's like going on an underwater adventure!
