on breathing gas pumped from the surface, scuba divers carry
their own source of breathing gas, usually compressed air,
allowing them greater freedom of movement than with an air
line or diver's umbilical and longer underwater endurance than
breath-hold.

movable object, such as a hot-air balloon or helicopter, that has the
ability to hover above the ground. The thrill comes from the free-
falling and the rebound. When the person jumps, the cord stretches
and the jumper flies upwards again as the cord recoils, and
continues to oscillate up and down until all the kinetic energy is
dissipated.
