Diving is an opportunity to relax and immerse yourself

in a vibrant world full of secrets and adventures. The


concept of 'diving' (translated from English - descent
under water, immersion of a diver).
Diving is recreational scuba diving. It should not be
confused with diving, since a diver is, first of all, a
professional who has passed a special course. training,
trained to dive, as a rule, to great depths and carry out
special work there. Divers are simply enthusiastic
people who dive with scuba gear under the water to
enjoy communicating with nature and underwater
inhabitants.
Amateur diving is both diving in the crystal clear
waters of tropical seas surrounded by colorful fish and
corals, and exploring a ship that sank not far from
some island. The diver and his partner put on
equipment, enter the water and begin to study the
underwater flora and fauna, slowly moving through the
water column.
They invented a diving suit with a steel helmet. It
consisted of a steel helmet with a porthole and an air
hose, and a rubber wetsuit. On his feet, the diver put on
special boots with lead soles, and on his shoulders a
special sleeve equipped with metal bolts for fastening
the helmet. The Englishman August Zibe invented this
suit in 1837. This costume without significant changes
exists even now, in our days, and will probably
continue for a long time. But a diver in such a suit is
always tied with a hose to the ship, where the air pump
is located. Consequently, there could be no question of
freedom of swimming under water.
Again, humanity faced the problem: what still needs to
be invented so that the diver has unlimited freedom of
movement in the water column.

And it was necessary to invent a scuba tank, a cylinder


with compressed air that would be attached to the
diver's back. What Jacques Yves Cousteau did in 1945.
He supplied the cylinder with compressed air and a
special valve to which a breathing hose was attached.
The air hose ended with a device that directed the
exhaled air out into the water, at the same time
equalizing the pressure of the compressed air to the
pressure of the environment
