How old do you have to be to do scuba diving courses in the u.k.?

Basic OPEN WATER certification starts at 10 years old. Below that you can have a POOL PARTY, and TRY DIVE experiences, along with bubblemaker dives as young as 8 years old. Be aware that the Pool Party, Try Dive and Bubblemaker sessions mean you MUST be escorted at all times by an Instructor or Certified Divemaster.


Do you have to be scuba certified to go diving?

Most diving locations and resorts require you to be certified to dive. That is because they done want a bunch of dodoheads going to the hyperbaric chamber. I would recomend you get certified. It costly usually under $300. However, if you are desperate, there are some (very few) locations that will go over Scuba diving with you (not certify you) before you dive.

What other people might you need to scuba dive safely?

If certified, just your dive buddy (also certified by an actual accredited training agency). If not, then you will need to go with an instructor, until you are certified - the course only takes a few days. Check the related links to find a PADI dive shop near you - though there are other training agencies, PADI has the most shops by far and tends to have the best standardization and quality assurance between shops. Other dive organisations include BSAC, SSI, NAUI. You may find one is more dominant in your country, such as BSAC in the UK.

What legal requirements do you need to scuba dive?

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). However, if you are not certified, you will not be able to rent or buy equipment or get someone to fill your scuba cylinder.
