Who is curious about what the other seventy-one percent of the Earth looks like? Scuba Diving is an astonishing way to find out. The oceans are home to more biodiversity than anywhere else on this planet. Therefore, there will always be something interesting to see. As well as a wonderful challenge, scuba diving also holds the chance to see the shadowy caves and beautiful fish that were previously only dreamed of. Scuba Diving is an enticing sport that includes a fascinating history, diverse activities, as well as many problems that may occur.

This idea has came from and been proven by the presence of dyes made from shellfish that only live on the seabed (Sullivan 13). Retrieving these could have only been possible by the skills of some sort of diver. Early Creatan civilizations around 3000-1400 B.C. focused their economy and art around diving and the products that they retrieved from the sea. Fish, sponges, and Murex shells, used for their purple dye, were all important items that were retrieved from the sea (Carrier 4). Pacific Island natives have executed their diving skills for many centuries to retrieve pearls and sponges (2).
             The gear used to scuba diving has changed totally since the activity's beginning. As early as 900 B.C., underwater apparatuses with animal skin bladders were used (Carrier 6). Tube apparatuses have been traced back to many cultures. Multiple items were used including hollow glass, sponges soaked in oil, floats, and vases (Sullivan 14). In the beginning of the sixteenth century, Leonardo da Vinci completed numerous sketches of scuba suits (15). Giovanni Borelli completed plans for a suit in 1679 (14). However, when their plans were put into action, both of these early attempts were failures. In 1715, an inventor by the named Becker stayed underwater for about an hour in a station...
