What do scuba divers need for a good education?

What high school classes do you take to be a scuba diver?
You need to take an Open Water Certification course to become a SCUBA diver, but there are no pre-requisites. You actually only need to be 10 years old to enter PADI's first training program, and 14 for full certification, 16 for deep, and 18 for cave/cavern/wreck/search and recovery. However, though the physics are discussed, it is from a practical and not theoretical point of view, and does not require any previous knowledge of the topic. To be a technical diver or divemaster/instructor route, you should have a GED or diploma, and at least some physics knowledge.
What kind of scuba equipment do you need for beginning scuba lessons?
In order to begin scuba lessons, you will require an oxygen tank, a wetsuit, a mouthpiece, as well as flippers. Your scuba classes most likely offer these equipment.
What element do scuba divers need to prevent the bends?
Scuba divers need to decompress after a deep dive so that the oxygen levels in their blood return to normal before returning to the surface. Otherwise they will get the bends. A scuba diver will typically use his or her dive table or computer to figure out how many minutes they must decompress before resurfacing from the dive. Decompression takes place when a diver figures out the amount of time they need to wait at a certain depth under water before they can resurface. They also need to take into account how much air they have left so they can safely wait underneath the water for said period of time. A scuba diver will usually hold onto a drop line and simply breath and wait the allocated amount of time at the prescribed depth and only then safely return to the surface.
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.
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.
