Diving in some form has been around since ancient times. An ancient Roman tomb called "Tomba Del Tuffatore" depicting a scene of a young diver & dating back to 480 BC is the earliest evidence of sport diving. Competitive diving in modern times is most often credited to 17th century acrobats from Germany & Sweden. During the summer months, they would practice outside on the beaches. Acrobatics over the water evolved into "fancy diving" and the competitive sport it is today.

Should you start scuba diving as early in your life as possible to be a good diver?
Not necessarily. Many famous and successful divers took diving up later in life. Children do tend to take to diving more naturally than adults though; for children breathing underwater because a grown up tells them to comes naturally. Some adults really struggle to get comfortable doing it however. If you are young and interested in diving, you should dive because you want to; not because you want to be a great diver. It is not a competitive sport. But it is a lot of fun.
