Snorkel would wear a mask and snorkel, you may or may not have fins. Snorklers normally remain on the surface and cruise around looking for fish and corals below them. Many of them then will want to dive under water, and watch the fish closely.

Those who break the surface of fins and use would be considered divers. Many are taking this to some real extremes with a record of being over 80 meters! For divers more free, from 6 to 20 meters is the normal range. If you go to try to become a serious free diver, is in his best interest to get some kind of training for a couple of good reasons

1) To maximize your ability, that will make you more efficient and able to descend deeper and deeper. PADI, SSI and most diving certification agencies have specific courses for this.

2) Shallow Water Blackout, which can be fatal! Shallow Water Blackout is caused by the partial change of air pressure at depth, which only affects the majority of divers and is why it is recommended that you have some training, and why divers always serious dive with a partner that understands Blackout shallow water, and what to do if it happens. This is standard operating procedure that one pair of friends is always on the surface to help the other if there is a problem.

Fishing, while free diving is a sport of the whole and separately very exciting as it seeks fish, then you need to hit with a kind of spear, and then you have to take the fish and yourself to the surface. Hawaii has been an art form as stick to the fish in the 20 kilos and larger and can have a real man battle against nature that is quite intense, as the fish will do everything possible to escape, This means that you have something against the battle, trying to prevent you from going to the surface when you need a breath of air now! Besides wrestling, or boxing kangaroo must canÂ't think of a fairer fight. Hunting fish with scuba gear is illegal in most places, and is seen in all eyes sportsmen as ethical.

Diving would be using the mask, fins and an air tank, will usually have a jacket attached to the tank dive called "BCDA" also attached to the scuba would take a set of regulators, in the jargon of diver REGSA referred to as "" or "octoÂ'sÂ" which will normally 2 hoses with regulators, and a low pressure hose or 2 and an information pack containing 1, 2 or 3 different pressure and meters depth, compass and computers. Divers also have other equipment such as weights and knives (for free from the entanglements underwater) lights, underwater cameras and underwater video cameras are common accoutrements to see the divers. See you back under water, no matter how you get there!
