Sentence (4) should be revised for clarity and correct grammar. The comma before "and" is unnecessary and the semicolon is awkward. Revised options:
- "Skin diving is a popular and fun pastime that is becoming more accessible for everyone."
- "Skin diving is a popular and fun pastime, and it is becoming more accessible for everyone."

(Also note sentence (5) contains a pronoun error: change "there underwater adventures" to "their underwater adventures.")
