snuba

snuba
A combination of snorkeling and scuba diving where the swimmer uses the fins, mask, and breathing apparatus commonly used in scuba diving, but the oxygen tanks usually strapped to the back are instead attached to floating rafts that remain on the waters surface.<ref name="washingtonpost1988"></ref><ref name="seattle1995"></ref>
