The Volga river, the main water artery, together with the numerous branches, channels and banks is the hydrographic network of the Astrakhan region. According to regional data in the area there are about 900 rivers and small streams. The Volga-Akhtuba floodplain is low-lying space, flooded by river water during the flood. The Volga Delta is one of the largest deltas in the world. The Volga Delta is an extensive network of water currents Bakhtemir (as it is a navigable path to the Caspian Sea), Kamyzyak, Buzan, Bolda. The most Eastern flow of the Kigach leads in Kazakhstan. The hydrographic network of the region is widely used for tourism and recreation, particularly scuba diving. Modern diving is varied and increasingly used in tourism. There is a need to summarize all theoretical approaches to the classification of diving and varieties of ways of scuba diving. At present there is no single approach to the classification of types of diving. The article shows a diagram summarizing the theoretical basics of diving. The physical and geographical characteristics the hydrographic network of the Astrakhan region for the purposes of the development of water tourism. Outline the main problems and prospects of its development in the region.
