“Scuba” and “Bucear”. Where’s the abbreviation?

We know ‘scuba’ stands for ‘Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus’. So if ‘bucear’ means ‘scuba-diving’ in Spanish, then where’s the abbreviation? Did they just ignore it?

I checked a few Spanish-English dictionaries, and all of them suggest that the word, “bucear,” in Spanish; means, “to dive,” in English.

None of the dictionaries state that “bucear” specifically means, “scuba-diving,” either. So perhaps “bucear” refers to diving, in general.

“scuba” is the international recognized terminology. So “scuba” is universal.
