Best Answer

Diving at depths increases pressure as you go down and decreases as you head for the surface. Any air pockets in your body will contract and expand as you do this unless you can "equalise" the pressure (pressure in the airspace = pressure outside airspace). If you have cavities in your teeth, air trapped can expand as you go shallow which could cause pain. Also, the water that inevitably touches your teeth can be cold and sensitive teeth won't like this. Another cause of dental pain, more noticibly jaw pain, is caused by biting the mouth piece too hard, usually due to anxiety or a poorly fitting mouth piece in the regulator

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.

There are no legal requirements to scuba dive. In other words, anyone can scuba dive without breaking a law (assuming you are not doing an illegal underwater activity such as illegal fishing).
