Nautical Term: SCUBA
Definition of SCUBA
Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus, commonly referred to as SCUBA, is a portable equipment designed for underwater breathing. It comprises a gas cylinder, a regulator, an air tank, and various hoses and connectors.
For instance, imagine a group of recreational SCUBA divers exploring a coral reef in the Caribbean Sea. Each diver wears an SCUBA mask to breathe through, a buoyancy compensator (BCD) to help control their position in the water, and the SCUBA tank and regulator to supply them with the breathable air required to explore the underwater world.
