本研究主要在瞭解大學生進行水肺潛水活動的參與動機。以屏東縣墾丁地區參與潛水活動的大學生作為研究對象，以立意取樣方式針對182位大學生進行問卷調查，有效問卷150份，有效回收率為82.4%。經由施測工具「初級潛水員參與動機」量表與統計分析方法包括：t檢定(Independent t-test）、變異數分析(One-way ANOVA）、皮爾森積差相關(Pearson's correlation)及信度分析(Reliability analysis)等。獲得以下結果，（一）在信度分析中，整體參與動機與內含各量表之Cronbach’s α值範圍在0.82至0.95間，具良好的信度檢驗。（二）大學生潛水活動參與動機中，身心健康動機、刺激避免動機、知識需求動機與整體參與動機間存在高程度正相關性。（三）擁有潛水相關證照的大學生，在潛水活動整體參與動機、身心健康動機與知識需求動機的平均得分較高且達顯著差異。（四）大學生為同質性較一致的族群，因此其他相關人口學特性變項(如：性別、年級、每月休閒消費金額等)，於水肺活動參與動機上未見顯著之差異表現。以上結果將提供給相關業者及未來研究參考及佐證。
