Diving

The practice of diving is the act of swimming underwater using a breathing apparatus or by breath-holding. Dirk Pitt was an expert in diving.

Scuba Diving
Scuba Diving uses the SCUBA breathing apparatus to go underwater for various lengths of the time and to various depths. In 1988, Pitt went scuba diving in Table Lake, Colorado to explore the sunken aircraft, Vixen 03.
