They can be deployed at greater depths and in more dangerous environments. An AUV is a robot which travels underwater without requiring real-time input from an operator. AUVs constitute part of a larger group of unmanned undersea systems, a classification that includes non-autonomous ROVs, which are controlled and powered from the surface by an operator/pilot via an umbilical or using remote control. In military applications AUVs are often referred to as unmanned undersea vehicles (UUVs).<sup id="cite_ref-ROVCAT_64-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ROVCAT-64"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>64<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-AUV_65-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-AUV-65"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>65<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Diving_activities">Diving activities</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Underwater_diving&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: Diving activities"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Diving_activities" title="Diving activities">Diving activities</a></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1237032888/mw-parser-output/.tmulti"><div class="thumb tmulti tright"><div class="thumbinner multiimageinner" style="width:442px;max-width:442px"><div class="trow"><div class="theader" style="text-align:center">Diving activities</div></div><div class="trow"><div class="tsingle" style="width:133px;max-width:133px"><div class="thumbimage" style="height:201px;overflow:hidden"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Working_Diver_01.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="Helmeted surface-supplied diver using a coated electrode to arc-weld a steel patch to the underwater hull of a landing craft." src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/00/Working_Diver_01.jpg/131px-Working_Diver_01.jpg" decoding="async" width="131" height="201" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/00/Working_Diver_01.jpg/197px-Working_Diver_01.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/00/Working_Diver_01.jpg/262px-Working_Diver_01.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1960" data-file-height="3008" /></a></span></div><div class="thumbcaption">Ship repair work may involve <a href="/wiki/Hyperbaric_welding" title="Hyperbaric welding">underwater welding</a></div></div><div class="tsingle" style="width:305px;max-width:305px"><div class="thumbimage" style="height:201px;overflow:hidden"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:US_Navy_120209-N-XD935-302_Mass_Communication_Specialist_1st_Class_Shane_Tuck,_assigned_to_the_Expeditionary_Combat_Camera_Underwater_Photo_Team,_c.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="A scuba diver swims over a reef with a large still camera in an underwater housing with dome port and electronic strobes." src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e1/US_Navy_120209-N-XD935-302_Mass_Communication_Specialist_1st_Class_Shane_Tuck%2C_assigned_to_the_Expeditionary_Combat_Camera_Underwater_Photo_Team%2C_c.jpg/303px-US_Navy_120209-N-XD935-302_Mass_Communication_Specialist_1st_Class_Shane_Tuck%2C_assigned_to_the_Expeditionary_Combat_Camera_Underwater_Photo_Team%2C_c.jpg" decoding="async" width="303" height="201" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e1/US_Navy_120209-N-XD935-302_Mass_Communication_Specialist_1st_Class_Shane_Tuck%2C_assigned_to_the_Expeditionary_Combat_Camera_Underwater_Photo_Team%2C_c.jpg/455px-US_Navy_120209-N-XD935-302_Mass_Communication_Specialist_1st_Class_Shane_Tuck%2C_assigned_to_the_Expeditionary_Combat_Camera_Underwater_Photo_Team%2C_c.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e1/US_Navy_120209-N-XD935-302_Mass_Communication_Specialist_1st_Class_Shane_Tuck%2C_assigned_to_the_Expeditionary_Combat_Camera_Underwater_Photo_Team%2C_c.jpg/606px-US_Navy_120209-N-XD935-302_Mass_Communication_Specialist_1st_Class_Shane_Tuck%2C_assigned_to_the_Expeditionary_Combat_Camera_Underwater_Photo_Team%2C_c.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2784" data-file-height="1848" /></a></span></div><div class="thumbcaption"><a href="/wiki/Underwater_photography" title="Underwater photography">Underwater photography</a> is done by recreational and professional divers.</div></div></div></div></div> <p>People may dive for various reasons, both personal and professional.

Usually these are considered to be adverse effects, and include damage to reef organisms by incompetent and ignorant divers, but there may also be positive effects as the environment is recognised by the local communities to be worth more in good condition than degraded by inappropriate use, which encourages conservation efforts. During the 20th century recreational scuba diving was considered to have generally low environmental impact, and was consequently one of the activities permitted in most marine protected areas. Since the 1970s diving has changed from an elite activity to a more accessible recreation, marketed to a very wide demographic. To some extent better equipment has been substituted for more rigorous training, and the reduction in perceived risk has shortened minimum training requirements by several training agencies. Training has concentrated on an acceptable risk to the diver, and paid less attention to the environment. The increase in the popularity of diving and in tourist access to sensitive ecological systems has led to the recognition that the activity can have significant environmental consequences.<sup id="cite_ref-Hammerton_2014_190-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Hammerton_2014-190"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>187<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Recreational scuba diving has grown in popularity during the 21st century, as is shown by the number of certifications issued worldwide, which has increased to about 23 million by 2016 at about one million per year.<sup id="cite_ref-Lucrezi_2016_191-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Lucrezi_2016-191"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>188<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Scuba diving tourism is a growth industry, and it is necessary to consider <a href="/wiki/Environmental_sustainability" class="mw-redirect" title="Environmental sustainability">environmental sustainability</a>, as the expanding impact of divers can adversely affect the <a href="/wiki/Marine_environment" class="mw-redirect" title="Marine environment">marine environment</a> in several ways, and the impact also depends on the specific environment. Tropical coral reefs are more easily damaged by poor diving skills than some temperate reefs, where the environment is more robust due to rougher sea conditions and fewer fragile, slow-growing organisms. The same pleasant sea conditions that allow development of relatively delicate and highly diverse ecologies also attract the greatest number of tourists, including divers who dive infrequently, exclusively on vacation and never fully develop the skills to dive in an environmentally friendly way.<sup id="cite_ref-Dimmock_et_al_2013_182-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Dimmock_et_al_2013-182"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>179<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="/wiki/Low_impact_diving" title="Low impact diving">Low impact diving</a> training has been shown to be effective in reducing diver contact.<sup id="cite_ref-Hammerton_2014_190-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Hammerton_2014-190"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>187<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The ecological impact of <a href="/wiki/Commercial_diving" title="Commercial diving">commercial diving</a> is a small part of the impact of the specific industry supported by the diving operations, as commercial diving is not done in isolation.
