I would decide not to Scuba dive -- or climb a mountain, or parachute from an airplane -- if I felt the potential risks and costs outweighed the potential benefits.
In the case of scuba diving, such risks include SCUBA apparatus failure, the Bends, nitrogen narcosis, shark attack, or being stranded in mid-sea following a group diving expedition. There would also be the cost of training, certification, and equipment (whether renting or purchasing).
How I weigh these against the benefits of diving (the likelihood of adventure, potential for learning, bragging rights among my peer group, etc.) is a judgment call that only I can make for me, and only you would be able to make for yourself.

Snorkel - Lets you breathe at the surface with your face in the water without wasting air from your scuba unit. Scuba unit - The heart of your equipment, scuba (the acronym for self contained underwater breathing apparatus) allows you to breathe underwater and to rise, descend, hover or float at will. It consists of a regulator, tank, buoyancy control device -harness and instruments. Dive watch - Used to measure the dive time. Dive computer - Monitors your depth and time underwater to keep you within established limits. Weight system - Offsets your tendency to float so you can descend gently underwater when you want to. Fins - Allow you to swim using only your powerful leg muscles. Dive light - Used to look into cracks and crevices, and for diving at night. Dive knife - A handy tool as well as an important safety device. Dive flag/float - Keeps boaters away from where you're diving.

Can you rent scuba gear for a shallow indoor dive to make pool repairs?
Yes, you could rent it to make pool repairs. This would be rather impractical, however, because you would have to pay $50 - $100 for a single repair every time you needed to rent the equipment. It would be more practical to either drain the water during repairs or to have someone trained do it.
What education and training is required to become a scuba diver?
The interesting thing about scuba diving, is legally, there are no licenses or certifications required. The problem arises, however, that while scuba is an extremely safe sport, some training is required to make it safe. And from a liability standpoint, dive shops, and dive resorts will not rent gear, or take people diving unless they can show a scuba license (or C-Card - certification card) from a recognized training agency.You can take classes locally or online that teach scuba diving, and upon graduation from the class, a certification card (which resembles a credit card) with your name, date certified, etc is given. That card will be required in most any location in order to dive.There are different levels of certification, Open Water Scuba Diver, Advanced Scuba Diver, Rescue Diver, Divemaster, Instructor, etc, and by taking additional classes, someone can gather more experience, education and certifications.Beyond recreational diving, there are courses for technical diving including deep, mixed gas, cave diving, etc, and there are also commercial dive courses covering everything from underwater welding, inspection, etc.
How do you make a scuba suit in mine craft?

What do you need to scuba dive?
Basic Scuba EquipmentYes, while most every piece of equipment is rentable. I would only invest in your own mask, fins, and snorkle to begin with. Wait and make sure that you are really into the sport before dropping the several thousand dollars on the BCD, Regs, Tanks, and such. It's kind of a waste if you find out that you don't do it enough, or just aren't interested in doing it again. The dealer will give you a great deal if you purchase all the gear at once, don't be fooled, wait it out. Get certified, and go from there. AnswerWell, you can rent virtually every piece of equipment you'd need, but the essentials are a mask & snorkel, fins, wet siut (optional for some climates but recommended), a tank, bouancy compensator (BC or dive vest), regulator & hoses and a dive belt with weights. You can also use gloves, a flashlight and other accessories. At the bare minimum though, you'd need the tank and hoses, BC, weight belt, mask and fins. Also, see the answer in the question "What is the required equipment for scuba diving?"
Are scuba diving lessons more readily available in coastal locations?
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.
How frequently is it safe to scuba dive?
If you're a certified diver, you should have a dive table to figure out how many dives you can make safely within a certain time frame. There are several factors to consider: Depth of dives, length of dives, time between each dive, conditions, health, whether you'll be flying before or after the dives.If you don't have a table and are still not sure, any dive center should be able to help you calculate the maximum dives for a given time frame.AdditionWhile you should never be aggressive in your diving, it is well documented that you become less susceptible to decompression sickness the more you dive over time.

Can you dive bomb?
yes you can dive bomb. i will use an example. I'm using the us dauntless dive bombers as an example because i know about them the best. 1st you would start at a normal cruising altitude and open your bomb bay (the bomb bay is where the bomb is stored). then you would put the nose of your bomber down and start your dive. you will accelerate very fast but make sure you are diving 70*.open your dive flaps (dive flaps slow you down in a dive) drop your bomb and pull up! after you use your bomb you can also "dive strafe" a target. this is when you nose down sight the target and just fire at it. HOPE THIS HELPS!
