so what's the answer? dived? dove?
Strictly speaking, the answer is neither.
SCUBA stands for "Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus".
You can use it in shallow water, or simply by floating face-down as with a snorkle.
When using a snorkle, one does not snorkle-dive. You go snorkling.
Lowe should have said "We SCUBAed with sharks".
In the present tense, one says "Let's SCUBA", just as one would say "Let's Bomba".
