The mask allows you to see, the snorkel allows you to breathe, and the fins give you good propulsion. If you take a deep breath, you can swim down, but you will have to surface to take your next breath. Little or no training is needed.

Panama City Beach Diving - Recreational diving or sport diving is a type of diving that uses SCUBA equipment for the purpose of leisure and enjoyment.

In some diving circles, the term "recreational diving" is used in contradistinction to "technical diving", a more demanding aspect of the sport which requires greater levels of training, experience and equipment.
