Both surface supplied and scuba diving allow divers to stay underwater significantly longer than with breath-holding techniques as used in snorkelling and free-diving. According to the purpose of the dive, a diver usually moves underwater by swimfins attached to his feet, but external propulsion can come from an underwater vehicle, or a sled pulled from the surface. Water normally contains dissolved oxygen from which fish and other aquatic animals extract all their required oxygen as the water flows past their gills. Humans lack gills and do not otherwise have the capacity to breathe underwater unaided by external devices.[3] Some experiments indicate the possibility of filling and ventilating artificially the lungs with a dedicated liquid (Liquid breathing) — this currently has only medical applications. Early diving experimenters quickly discovered it is not enough simply to supply air in order to ...
