This really depends on who you ask to certify you. However there are some standard excersises that you have to do to pass the course. There is the snorkel clear, there is the mask and mouth clear, second stage breathing device retrieval, safety check, BC check, swim test, basic rescue, and the certification dives. These are the excersises that I did for my certification, but every certification is slightly different.
Where you can get scuda diving lessons depends on where you live. If you live somewhere close to a place that offers scuba diving those places will offer lessons. Some colleges that have swimming pools also offer scuba diving lessons.
Yes. The experts at PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) give scuba diving lessons. PADI is the number one diving training organization in the world.
Yes, scuba diving lessons are more available in coastal locations because they are closer to the ocean and have more trainers with experience. Also, these coastal locations are usually a big spot for tourists, which means more people that may want scuba lessons. It would make sense that scuba diving lessons would be more readily available in coastal areas because of the proximity of the ocean. Many hotels located on or near the beach offer scuba diving lessons either onsite or close by.
Many of the larger hotel and resorts located along the Gulf Coast offer SCUBA lessons. Price varies based on location.
The best place to look would be in your yellow pages for "scuba instruction". Even if you don't live near the ocean, there are indoor, pool-based lessons.

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.
I think you mean BUSEAR, which means to go scuba diving. El buseo = scuba diving. Buseador = scuba diver.
