Aiming for the Bottom: The History and Sport of Diving (SCUBA, Snorkeling, Recreational and Professional)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Underwater exploration through diving can be accomplished through varying levels of equipment and breathing assistance. SCUBA, or self contained underwater breathing apparatus, is the most common for of assisted-breathing underwater diving. Free-diving similarly explores the depths but uses the challenge of breath-holding versus assisted-breathing devices.

This book heads for the very depths of understanding the world of underwater diving, including the history of diving, diving equipment, the diving suit, recreational and professional forms of diving, and much more.
