潜水 = diving = snorkeling = skin diving with a snorkeling gear:diving mask,snorkel,fins
Snorkeling is a wonderful activity that can be enjoyed by almost anyone who has access to the ocean,a lake,river,pond or quarry.Snorkeling as an activity frequently lives in the shadows of scuba diving - another excellent pastime,but one that requires significantly more instruction,time and money.Most people who have snorkeled have done so only on group charters while on vacation,but snorkeling is an activity that can be done almost anytime,anywhere.
深水潜水 = scuba diving;
plunge into water 跳水:潜水员穿着潜水衣正在水下工作.The young diver is working under the water with a diving suit.

to dive (v.), diving (n.)
to scuba dive, scuba diving (n.) 深水潜水

Underwater diving is the practice of going underwater with or without breathing apparatus.
Recreational diving is a popular activity (also called sports diving or subaquatics). Professional diving (Commercial Diving or Diving for Financial Gain) takes a range of diving activities to the underwater work site.
Levels of training and types of equipment and gases used differ between types of diving.
Diving without breathing apparatus
Free diving - Free diving includes a range of activities from simple breath-hold diving to competitive apnoea dives.
Swimming underwater - The ability to dive and swim underwater can be a useful emergency skill, and is an important part of watersport and navy safety training. More generally, entering water from a height is an enjoyable leisure activity, as is underwater swimming with or without breathing apparatus.
Snorkelling - The addition of a short breathing tube (snorkel) allows the diver to breathe while remaining immersed, but close to the surface.
Diving with Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus (SCUBA) - Scuba divers are sometimes known as frogmen, particularly divers engaged on armed forces covert operations.
Open circuit - Breathing systems consist of one or more diving cylinders containing breathing gas at high pressure connected to a diving regulator.
Rebreather sets - Closed-circuit breathing systems allow recycling of exhaled gases. This reduces the volume of gas used, making a rebreather lighter and more compact than an open-circuit breathing set. Rebreathers also make far fewer bubbles and less noise than open-circuit scuba; this makes them attractive to military, scientific and media divers.
Surface supplied diving - The alternative to scuba is breathing gases supplied via an umbilical from the surface, often from a diving support vessel but sometimes, indirectly via a diving bell. Surface-supplied divers almost always wear diving helmets or full face diving masks.
Saturation diving - Saturation diving lets professional divers live and work at depth for days or weeks at a time. This type of diving allows greater economy of work and enhanced safety. After working in the water, divers rest and live in a dry pressurized habitat on or connected to a diving support vessel, oil platform or other floating work station, at the same pressure as the work depth. They may be transferred in a diving bell. Decompression at the end of the dive may take many days.
Diving training - Basic Dive Training entails the learning of underwater skills and other skills requisite to the successful and safe conduct of activities in an underwater environment such as the buddy system, dive planning, and use of dive tables among others. Also, underwater diving training should come from a qualified diving instructor, to be safe.
Below are some basic underwater skills that a beginner should learn:
Equalization – this refers to the adjustment the Eustachian tube in the ear needs to do when submerged in the higher pressured environment underwater.

Underwater breathing – this refers to the skill of breathing through the apparatus. All divers must get used to this way of breathing.
Mask clearing – This is done to make sure that there will not be anything that will obstruct the diver's view as well as to remove any water that might come into the mask.
Air sharing – refers to the act of multiple divers sharing one air supply.
Buoyancy – the right buoyancy allows the diver to move about underwater comfortably. Amount of equipment, buoyancy compensators, and amount of air in the lungs all come to play in maintaining buoyancy. More air in the lungs makes for more buoyancy, while less air makes for less buoyancy.
Diving signals – diving signals may vary, but its purpose is to be able to communicate with other divers. It should be clear among a group of divers what the diving signals to be used are before the dive.
Diving training can be got from many diving training bodies: see Category:Diver training agency.
Dangers of diving:
Decompression sickness
Nitrogen narcosis
Drowning
Barotrauma
Oxygen toxicity
Shallow water blackout
Deep water blackout
On jumping into water: divers sometimes jump into water feet first from some height above the water (e.g. from a large boat or from a pier). Jumping into the water headfirst is unsafe for those wearing any sort of scuba or snorkelling equipment. In particular, an open-circuit scuba on the back is big and hard and heavy and during a headfirst dive into water may cause back or neck injury or break the neck.
Diving in submersibles - Submarines, submersibles and 'hard' diving suits enable undersea diving to be carried out within a dry environment at normal atmospheric pressure, albeit more remotely. Underwater robots and remotely operated vehicles and also carry out some functions of divers at greater depths and in more dangerous environments.
Diving by other animals - Humans are not the only air-breathing creatures to dive. Marine mammals such as seals, dolphins and whales, dive to feed and catch prey under the sea as do penguins and many seabirds, as well as various reptiles: turtles, saltwater crocodiles, seasnakes and Marine Iguanas. Many mammals, birds and reptiles also dive in freshwater rivers and lakes.
