[El] submarinismo es una forma de buceo en el que un buzo utiliza un equipo para respirar bajo el agua. A diferencia del buceo inicial, que se basó exclusivamente en el aire bombeado desde la superficie, los buzos llevan su propia fuente de gas respiratorio (por lo general de aire comprimido ), lo que les permite una mayor libertad que con una línea de aire y permanecer bajo el agua mucho más tiempo que con la técnica de retención de aliento que se usa en el buceo libre. 2, record 5, Spanish, - submarinismo
