From SporDiver:

UK scuba divers can now tuck into their between-dives bacon bap without that accompanying portion of guilt.

Scuba diving is, according to Shape Magazine, the newest celebrity fitness trend, popular with slimsters such as Jessica Alba, Sandra Bullock and Katie Holmes.

It is suggested that it is not uncommon for divers to burn more than 500 calories on one dive.

Theresa Kaplan, director of communications for PADI, told Shape: “Scuba diving provides a full body workout that combines cardio and strength training to burn calories, tone muscles and even improve breathing.

“Although your body is buoyant underwater and you feel virtually weightless while scuba diving, manoeuvring through water requires constant motion by your entire body, thus toning and strengthening muscles in your thighs, shoulders and your core.”

Well, it beats the gym, that’s for sure.
