My dad used to use the term "skin diving." I guess it was something he did and his brothers and maybe a lot of people did back in the 60s and 70s. I'm not sure, but it's a term I don't hear often. In fact, not really at all. So, I had to look it up. Turns out, it's a very real term, and apparently, rather popular.

The sport of swimming under water with flippers and a face mask and usually with a snorkel rather than a portable air supply.
