The word ‘SCUBA’ is an acronym for “Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus”, but it has become acceptable to refer to ‘scuba equipment‘ ‘scuba diving‘ or ’scuba apparatus’. The term SCUBA in common usage usually means open-circuit equipment in which gas (usually air) is breathed from a tank of compressed gas and then exhaled into the water, usually in the line of kit development started by Emile Gagnan and Jacques-Yves Cousteau.
