Scuba Diving: A type of diving with an oxygen tank in the back

Advantages of scuba diving: With this type of diving, you can get down the ocean very deep. Ordinary people can go down to 5-10m, licensed divers can go down to 13 – 15m, professional divers can go down to 2 – 30m. The deeper the coral, the more beautiful things can be seen under the ocean.

However diving in this type you have to pay a lot which depends on your choice. 

Snorkeling

Snorkeling is a plastic snorkeling mask diving. This type can only snorkel in shallow water. It is a matter of face down in the water, anyone who can swim well only dives 1-2 meters and has to emerge for a breath.
