In a marine biome, you can go snorkeling to observe colorful fish and corals, take a boat tour to spot marine mammals like dolphins and whales, or go kayaking to explore coastal ecosystems like mangroves and sandbars. You could also try scuba diving to discover underwater caves and shipwrecks.
A mixture of helium and oxygen is commercially known as heliox and generally refers to a mixture of 21% O2 (the same as air) and 79% He, although other combinations are available.
Skin diving is any underwater activity done without the use of SCUBA gear, using a mask and flippers, and possibly a snorkel.It includes swimming, spear fishing, free dive photography, competitive breath-hold free diving and other apnea competitions.
The fastest type of diving is high diving, where divers jump from platforms ranging from 20-27m high and reach speeds of up to 96 km/h. This extreme sport requires precise technique and skills to execute dives safely from such heights.
To dive feet first, jump or step off the diving board with your arms extended above your head. Keep your body straight as you enter the water and aim to make minimal splash. Practice diving from a low height before trying it from a higher diving board.

Some diving trips near you that I would recommend include exploring the coral reefs in the Florida Keys, diving with sharks in the Bahamas, and discovering shipwrecks in the Great Lakes.

Mainly you'll see Sharks, thats really the only real dangerous creature around shipwrecks, then theres octopus', and then the not really harmless one's are schools of fish, and other fishes. If you go Diving, Be Careful (:
Seeing anything new will always stay with you. Things that have stuck with me include: a 14' hammerhead shark, first time diving under the ice, most all shipwrecks and pretty amazing. Every dive there is something new.
One can find information on cave diving through the cave diving website. Another website to look at is Waves n Caves, and if a person wants to know specifically about cave diving in Britain they can search the cave diving group website.
One could visit the PADI website to learn more about diving suits. The site is full of useful information on scuba diving. In fact, there is an entire page devoted to dry suit diving tips.
