A scuba diver can purchase many things for scuba diving at the Air Hog online shop. They can purchase dive knives, dive lights, dive computers, and dive bags which will help them in scuba diving.
I am a scuba diver. To start SCUBA, you must pass training. Many training centers are available in many areas.
There are many PADI dive shops along the Queensland coast where the Great Barrier Reef is located. Any of those shops offer scuba dive gear rentals and tours.
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.
You can buy them. All good scuba shops sell dive suits. Many good spots shops not specializing in scuba gear can at least order on for you. You may also rent a dive suit.
PADI offers SCUBA classes for children as young as 8 years old (restrictions apply). See the attached related link for additional information.
It is not advisable to dive with an ear infection. A blockage in the ear canal can be painful if you can't properly equalize the air spaces within the ear, and could cause permanent inner ear damage. It is always best to dive only when you are feeling your best. Remember, SCUBA diving is fun and there are many safety features built in to your dive gear, but a lapse of good judgment can ruin an otherwise great dive!
The world record for a scuba dive (without protective gear, beyond a wet suit and oxygen tanks) is approximately 1029 feet. The immense pressure which builds exponentially as an object descends is sufficient to crush humans at a lesser depth, in many instances.
I am a Scuba certified and I weigh 150 Lbs, in my class there were some other people in the 250+ range, and there were people as light as 90 Lbs. Basically what I am getting at is that as long as you can swim you can Scuba dive. Average weight is very hard to determine since there are so many various divers.
I did not myself, but friends of mine did. SCUBA equipment had been around for many years, and was used by Navy personnel from time to time.
There are many reasons for stopping a dive. If you're running low on air, dangerous water conditions, cramps are also common on dives as well as the bends.
