About
A scuba diver is an underwater swimmer equipped with independent breathing gear, standing over 6 feet tall with equipment.
A diver's total size depends on body dimensions and the specific gear configuration used. Basic equipment like steel or aluminum tanks, lead weights, and thick wetsuits typically adds 30 to 50 pounds (14 to 23 kg) to a person's regular weight. Technical divers who carry multiple gas cylinders for deep exploration can weigh well over 250 pounds (113 kg) and take up much more space. In the water, swim fins can also add up to 2 feet (0.6 m) to the diver's overall body length.
From Wikipedia
Scuba diving is an underwater diving mode where divers use breathing equipment completely independent of a surface breathing gas supply, and therefore has a limited but variable endurance. The word scuba is an acronym for "self-contained underwater breathing apparatus" and was coined by Christian J.
