Scuba is an album by the Japanese new wave band P-Model. It is different from other P-Model albums in that it was made almost entirely made by guitarist Susumu Hirasawa alone and for its original issue in the cassette book format: the album was packaged with an 84-page booklet that contained techniques to induce rapid eye movement sleep and hypnosis, the lyric story expanded Scuba Monogatari, photos of the involved band members in a coastal area that illustrated the stories, and an interview with The Stalin vocalist Michiro Endo.

Track listing

All tracks written by Susumu Hirasawa, except where noted.

Endo's segment on "Looping Opposition" is not present on the CD mix of the track, shortening it by 23 seconds. The cassette book version contains sheet music for a "Song of Horohomo" (ホロホモーの歌, Horohomō no Uta), credited to "Furufucchi" (フルフッチ). No recording of this composition by Hirasawa or anyone involved with the album exists.
