不看后悔（「潜水」是一项什么样的运动？）

运动潜水（Sports diving）：根据世界潜水联合会（又名世界水下运动联合会，Confdration Mondiale des Activits Subaquatiques，CMAS）定义，“Sport diving”(运动潜水)是指在游泳池中进行的一类个人或团体竞赛活动，该类竞赛活动依赖于水肺潜水的能力、技术和设备，需要相应技战术和特定心理-身体条件，由世界潜水联合会管理和制度化。

该类国际竞赛活动目前包括五项，三项个人比赛和两项团体比赛。

个人比赛包括：300米，夜潜，和6公斤配重比赛。个人比赛主要考察运动员的相关潜水技巧：包括跨步式入水和背滚式入水，水面行进，自由逃脱，穿脱潜水装备，穿脱配重，水下失物巡回等。同时，也会考察运动员潜水速度、力量以及能量消耗和空气消耗的平衡。

团体项目包括：2人团体障碍赛和4人团体技巧。在团体比赛中，队员之间的默契很重要，重点考察水下协作能力和团队意识。主要考察的相关潜水技巧包括：共享二级头，潜水员救援，水下配合完成既定任务等。

水肺潜水（Scuba diving）：全名为Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus（SCUBA）diving，指潜水员自行携带水下呼吸系统所进行的潜水活动。其中有开放式(open-circuit)呼吸系统，及封闭式(closed-circuit)呼吸系统，原理都是利用调节器(Regulator)装置把气瓶中的压缩气体转化成可供人体正常呼吸的压力。水肺潜水一般亦分为休闲潜水(Recreational Diving)，技术潜水(Technical Diving)和工业潜水（Commercial Diving)。休闲潜水泛指观赏娱乐性的潜水活动，通常深度不大于40m。技术潜水泛指具挑战性的潜水活动，如大深度的潜水、水底洞穴、沉船等的潜水活动。工业潜水泛指含工业性质的潜水活动，如水下工程、船舶工业等。

运动潜水定义来源：

The Sport Diving is: The set of individual or groupcompetitive events, which need of a technical, tactical and specific psycho-physical conditions, based on scuba diving abilities, skills and equipment, develop in swimming pool, regulated and institutionalized within by the Underwater Activities.

International Regulations currently includes five events. The regulation contemplates three individual events and two of team.

The individual events are: Event M 300metres, Night Diving and Emersion 6Kg. In the individual events the diver has to put into practice different dexterities like: to be thrown to the water in step of giant or turned, to swim so much in surface as immersion, free escape, to come off of the diving suit, to emerge weights, to look for objects lost in the darkness... it should also regulate the speed, the power and in someoccasions to find the balance between the energy expense and the consumption of air.

The 2 Team Events are denominated: Course Obstacles (2 athletes) and the event Briefing (4 athletes). In team events the relating of the couple is important and strengthens the cooperation and the group concept. To share the second regulator, to rescue the outdiver, or to communicate inside the water to carry out a common task is some of thedexterities that the Sport Diving in strengthens and it develops.
