My topic I am researching is Scuba Diving. I only found one book on my topic it is called Scuba Diving Underwater Adventuring by Hank Ketels ans Jack McDowell. My essential question is, How was scuba diving formed? I have this as my essential question because before I could skip right to my essential question I had to annswer some other questions before like, What was the first form of scuba diving? or, When was it first formed? I found out that the first form of scuba diving was called Skin Diving. There were no bathing siuts when this was invented and clothes would pull them down and drown them. When they did this they went naked. You would bring a bag that was made of leather and you would breath in them. After two breathes the air would turn to carbon dioxide.
I only found one book on my topic it is called Scuba Diving Underwater Adventuring by Hank Ketels ans Jack McDowell. I didn’t use any websites.
