I HAD A GOOD EXPERIENCE TWICE WITH www.scuba.com .  I BOUGHT A WETSUIT AND A DIVING COMPUTER . I ADVICE EVERYONE TO HAVE A DEEP LOOK IN MANY WEBSITES.\nIF YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO BUY , SEE IF IT IS AVAILABLE FIRST IN THE STORES IN YOUR AREA. I BOUGHT A REGULATOR AND A BC FROM LOCAL STORES AND I WAS SATISFIED.\nMY FAMILY BOUGHT ME A DIVING GEAR CARRYING BACK AND HAD THE PROMISE FROM THE DIVING SHOP THAT I COULD CHANGE IT FOR ANY OTHER GEAR.

>One man(1) is having an air problem and can't breathe\n\nMan(1) is in an out of air situation.  He is not receiving air from his tank.  This means that man(1) has no more air in his tank or there is an equipment issue that is blocking air from being transfered from the tank to man(1).\n\n> and the other man(2) help him with octpus\n\nAn "octopus" is the common name for entire air delivery system that attaches to the tank and allows the diver to breath.  When you hold the sytem up, there are a lot of dangling parts and it looks like an octopus.\n\nEven more recently, "octopus" has come to mean the alternate air regulator.  In a typical scuba diver set-up, each diver has 2 regulators.  One is the primary breathing device for the diver.  The second is the an alternate breathing device in case his diving buddy needs it.  This alternate is now commonly called an "octopus".\n\nSo when man(2) helps with octopus, it can mean two things.\n\nVersion 1 - man(2) helps adjust man(1) air breathing system\nVersion 2 - man(2) gives his alternate breathing device to man(1) so man(1) can breath from man(2)'s tank.\n\n> reset his valves.  man(2) says "Must have gotten jammed"\n\nThere are valves on the tank that turn the air on and off.  If you happen to dive in an overhead environment (cave or wreck), you could knock these close or jam them.\n\nResetting the valves would mean to turn them back to the proper position, in this case - on.

CPA is not an acronym - only because it has no vowel in it, so you can't pronounce it like a word. It is just an abbreviation.\nADA is an acronym - because you can pronounce it like a word.\nALA is also an acronym for the same reason.\nAIDS is an acronym because you can pronounce it like a word.\nAn acronym does not have to be a real word (although AIDS just happens to be).\nHECS is an acronym for Higher Education Contribution Scheme.\nNATO is an acronym for North Atlantic Treaty Organisation.\nUNICEF is an acronym for United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund.\nQANTAS is an acronym for Queensland And Northern Territory Aerial Services (that's why there is no 'u' after the 'q' as there is in other words). That's what it originally stood for, but it is now so widely used that people often forget that it is not a 'real word'.\nSCUBA is an acronym for Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus.

Under what conditions?\n\nI recall seeing an article about a hotel in the Florida Keys that has made a series of underwater "bungaloes" that guests need to SCUBA dive down to, and out of.  Looks like it would be interesting.  And there are deep-sea researchers that live at depth for some time.\n\nBut either one requires a great deal of support at this time, since none of them could be considered self-sufficient.  Perhaps in the future?
