A diving apparatus for a diver underwater includes a portable habitat in which a breathable environment is maintained underwater. The habitat has a collapsible envelope. The collapsible envelope takes shape through inflation to an expanded state underwater. The habitat has a modular payload which removably attaches to the envelope underwater. The habitat has a seat on which a diver can sit while the habitat is underwater. The modular payload has a breathable gas source to provide breathable gas for the diver to breathe in the habitat and a carbon dioxide scrubber which removes carbon dioxide from the environment when the habitat is underwater. The apparatus has an anchor mechanism attached to the habitat to maintain the habitat at a desired depth underwater. A method for a diver to dive underwater. A system for supporting a diver underwater. A diving apparatus having a propulsion unit. An apparatus for a user in outer space or on another planet.
