===Alternatives to scuba for diving=== There are alternative methods that a person can use to survive and function while underwater, currently including: * [[free-diving]] β swimming underwater on a single breath of air. * [[snorkeling]] β a form of free-diving where the diver's mouth and nose can remain underwater when breathing, because the diver is able to breathe at the surface through a short tube known as a [[Snorkel (swimming)|snorkel]]. * [[surface-supplied diving]] β originally, and still used in [[professional diving]] for long or deep dives, where an umbilical cable provides [[breathing gas]], voice communication and sometimes warm water to heat the [[diving suit]] from the surface. Some tourist resorts offer a surface-supplied air line diving system, trademarked as [[Snuba]], as an introduction to diving for the inexperienced. Using the same type of demand valve as scuba diving, the diver breathes from a compressed air cylinder carried on a free-floating raft at the surface, through a simple hose limiting the diver to a depth of 20β30 feet (6β9 m). * [[atmospheric diving suit]] β a rigid articulated pressure resistant suit that isolates the diver from the surrounding water pressure.
