yes you do, if you dive like 10 to 30 feet you don't need any training just the basics but u need to know with a professional to teach you the basics but if you go Scuba dive like 50 to 70 ft you need to read a whoole book and do a test and homework
Yes indeed. If you want to take a fun dive without certification, you can do so, but you must be accompanied by a certified dive master. I'm not sure if this is a legal thing, but most dive shops won't let you get an air fill unless you're certified. Personally, I am certified to 60', but there is no authority at the bottom of lakes making sure you're staying within the limits. I've been down to 72' with no issues. The maximum recreational depth is 130', though. Its not illegal to go down further, it's just stupid if you aren't trained.

Do you need experience to scuba dive?
I am a scuba diver. To start SCUBA, you must pass training. Many training centers are available in many areas.
How do you get a scuba certification?
You will need to train with a certified SCUBA company. PADI and BSAC are two of the best known. Try their websites for local dive clubs which will run training couses.
Do you have to go to college to scuba dive?
No, you do not have to go to college, but you do need specific training. They usually have this training at something like a YMCA or something similar. This training, while expensive, allows you to take multiple dives, lessons, and a test to get your diving certification card. This card allows you to dive, but you should never (I repeat, NEVER) go diving alone. This card allows you to get scuba gear and gas for scuba diving.

What legal requirements do you need to scuba dive?
There are no legal requirements to scuba dive. In other words, anyone can scuba dive without breaking a law (assuming you are not doing an illegal underwater activity such as illegal fishing). However, if you are not certified, you will not be able to rent or buy equipment or get someone to fill your scuba cylinder.
Do you have to be a certain weight or body type to be a scuba diver?
No, you don't need a certain body type to scuba dive. Because you use flippers to SCUBA dive, you can be a very lousy swimmer and learn to SCUBA dive. You may look stupid with a very tight wet suit during scuba diving, but you can dive. When I got certified, I learned that you have a very slightly higher chance of the Bends during scuba diving, but this is a small percentage. The pros of scuba diving outweigh the cons.
Is scuba diving safe?
yes. when you take the required training to dive you will learn everything you need to know to be safe as you dive. as always theres always risks to things. same as taking a risk when you drive a car or ride in a airplane.

Where can you dive 30 feet deep?
Most often, 30 foot dives will take place in open water. There are some dive training centers with dive pools that may be deep enough. If you are planning to free dive (hold your breath at surface, dive, and return), you can go out into open water and try some free diving, shallow at first. Do not do this without a swim/dive buddy. If you want to dive SCUBA, you'll need to get certified first to avoid killing yourself. When ascending after breathing air under pressure, you'll need to do it properly. Free dive or SCUBA dive, I would never recommend diving without a swim/dive buddy with you.
