ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Snuba

Snuba is like snorkeling, but with a diving tank connected to your mask so you can breathe underwater for a long time.

Okay, so you know how when you go swimming and you have to hold your breath to go underwater? Well, with snuba, you don't have to hold your breath because you have a special tube that goes from the diving tank on your back up to your mask.

This tube lets you breathe air from the tank so you can stay underwater for a long time and explore. You can see all the colorful fish and plants that live underwater without having to come up for air every few seconds like you would if you were just snorkeling.

But, unlike scuba diving where you have to take classes and get certified, with snuba you can go underwater without having to go through all of that. You just have to listen to the instructions of the person who is helping you and you can start exploring!

It's a really fun way to explore the ocean and see things you wouldn't normally be able to see just by swimming around on the surface.
