- Scuba divers carry their source of breathing gas, affording them greater independence and movement than surface-supplied divers, and more time underwater than freedivers.
- Although compressed air is commonly used, other gas blends are also employed.

Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Scuba diving article was read about 170,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 94 and blocks with 95: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
