They are not divas but divers, their sport being to go as deep underwater as is humanly possible on a single breath of air. AIDA is the Association Internationale pour le Développement de l’Apnée. The word Apnée comes from the Greek apnea, which means cessation of breathing. The members of AIDA also call themselves free divers because they, like deep-sea creatures, are able to enjoy a long dive in the ocean.

1. According to the reading, what do divers think the acronym AIDA stands for?
