Spending an excessive amount of time in the bathroom/loo/privy, especially when others need to use it. Scuba Diving can interfere with other peoples' busy schedules, as there is much time wasted. Whilst sometimes a person may spend a long time on the toilet due to legitimate natural reasons, roughly 80-90% of Scuba Diving is caused by reading newspapers, making phone calls, or playing around with electronics devices. Scuba Diving can be done by both men and women, but under different circumstances: for instance, women naturally spend absurd amounts of time in the bathroom usually messing around in the mirror as is, whilst men can spend about 30 minutes on the can playing Angry Birds or something.
The term comes from the idea that the reason why the person is in the bathroom so long is because they're literally swimming around in the toilet water rather than doing their intended business.

Roger: Damn it, I got to shit really bad, but there's only one available stall in our building's men's room, and some damn old guy's been in there for ages with his newspaper. God damn it, I hate Scuba Diving!
Jason: Dude, we've been waiting for a fucking long time to go and pick up our pizza. What the hell were you doing in there, Scuba Diving?
