most training agencies suggest that Scuba be taught after 9years of age and should not be engaged in for one is a heavy smoker or has respiratory problems. Scuba is a high stress anaerobic activity. Anyone at risk of Heart disease or arterial sclerosis should not participate. This is not medical advice. Please consult a doctor before engaging in SCUBA diving. also: if they don't want to.... too many divers start SCUBA diving to be with somebody they care for, (husband, girlfriend, etc) but have no desire to actually SCUBA dive.

Can you scuba dive in Mexico without a license?

Theoretically if you had your own gear, including tank of air, you can dive anywhere that's got water but it's not recommended unless you know the dive site. If you don't have a licence, a dive centre should not allow you to dive. They can take you out on a "discover scuba diving" dive. This will be to a maximum of 12m. If you are qualified but have forgotten or lost your cert card, they can look you up on the pro website. If not qualified with at least PADI scuba diver cert, no one should let you dive. If they do, I would think twice about the dive operation you are using.

if you're younger than 16, you cannot dive by yourself at all. You should never dive by yourself, no matter what experience you have. That is how people die, because a buddy can save you with whatever knowledge you have. So you should always have a buddy that is experienced and competent with your swimming ability.
