Seeking the unusual but sustainable: scuba diving experience

Scuba diving tourism is one of the fastest-growing recreational tourism activities and draws a great amount of people’s attention towards coastal destinations from all over the world since the 1940s. However, this vogue has also brought pressure on fragile underwater surroundings. This chapter aims to explain and search for scuba diving experience through current literature review and present contemporary trends in discussions. Moreover, as this chapter indicates, scuba diving activities should be translated by sustainability principles as scuba diving relies on not only providing enriched scuba diving experiences for scuba divers but also diminishing adverse effects on marine environments, ensuring economic stability and improving social-economic benefits for local communities.
