scuba divers
Tank-breathing explorers
Scuba divers are people who swim underwater using self-contained breathing apparatus—tanks of compressed air strapped to the back, feeding through a regulator.
The term distinguishes them from snorkelers, who stay at the surface, and from divers supplied with air through hoses from above.
