{{IQ/Average}}

''Defaults:'' {{IQ-5}} or {{Diving Suit-2}}.

''Prerequisite:'' [[Swimming]].

This is the ability to use self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (scuba). Roll when you first enter the water, and again every 30 minutes thereafter, to avoid inhaling water (treat as drowning; see [[Suffocation]]). If you know this skill above default level, a successful roll also lets you spot problems with the equipment before you put it on.

''Modifiers:'' -2 to -4 for unfamiliar scuba rigs; e.g., closed-circuit gear when you're used to open-circuit.
