水肺潛水 Scuba Diving

水肺潛水（Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus，縮寫：SCUBA），指潛水員攜帶水下呼吸系統所進行的潛水活動，可以讓人在水裡持續呼吸，享受像魚兒般悠游的一種休閒運動。

簡單來說，水肺潛水就是背著氣瓶下水，下去只要平靜地用嘴巴呼吸，就可以在海裡面待很久看許多可愛的小生物，主要需要學習如何使用裝備，以及如何應變突發狀況。

相較與自由潛水，比較不用擔心氧氣不夠的問題，也不用一直浮出水面吸氣再下潛，可以在一定的時間內好好享受在海中觀賞海洋生態。

 全世界有多個通過國際認證的合格組織系統提供潛水員培訓課程，如PADI、SSI等等，通過認證後會頒發「潛水員認證卡」(Diving Certification Card)，也稱為C卡。
