Best Answer

Scuba diving, like any other sport, requires proper gear for safety. This includes, a mask and snorkel combo, a diving suit, fins, weights, an air tank, a buoyancy control device (BCD), and a regulator. You may also need gloves and a scuba computer.

You'll want to establish a relationship with a dive shop in your area. You'll need to arrange lessons to learn how to dive and how to use the equipment. Dive shops offer classes and private lessons. The pro at the shop can advise you on the best equipment for your purposes. This is a great article: www.divingobsession.com/info/index.tdf You can check out prices on various equipment here: www.leisurepro.com

Is scuba diving safe for someone who had a disc replacement?

Of course the answer is you need to ask a doctor. The big concern I would have is not so much the actual diving, but the weight you are going to have on your back wearing the scuba gear in and out of the water - which will be greater than 50 pounds.

The diving mini-game requires scuba gear. You will need an old photograph that is blowing in the wind near the lighthouse : swap it for scuba gear at the "Say Cheese" photo shop. Then dive for the old sailor's lost lobster trap. He will let you keep a lobster and give you the key to the jet ski.


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 is SCUBA health insurance?

Scuba health insurance is the insurance that protects you while you are scuba diving if you need any health procedures because of your diving. For example, if you were to get the bends from scuba diving, or if your lung were to rupture from holding your breath, this scuba insurance would cover it. Since paying for these procedures are very expensive "out of pocket," this means that you might not get the treatment unless you have this, or at least you could not pay it off.

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.
