Different scuba gear types weigh different amounts. The oxygen tank is the heavy part of the scuba diving gear.
The costs for a good scuba mask ranges about $50 to $70
45 lbs or pounds
Fins provide much greater force in water than your bare foot, due to the increased surface area. This increased force is necessary because the additional equipment needed for scuba diving (tank, buoyancy compensator, regulators, etc...) increases the amount of drag and weight of your body in the water. Without fins, you would use a great deal of energy and not get very far.
The cost to scuba dive in the state of Hawaii varies depending on the venue. The average cost varies between $100 and $150 per day, as of August 2014.
In reference to scuba diving, "SPG" stands for "Submersible Pressure Guage", which tells you how much air is in your tank so you can resurface before going too low on oxygen.
Its not really scuba diving but its considered scuba diving. Also known as the hookah system. its when you have a gas powered motor pumping fresh air to the person or person's diving below, there can be up to four people diving off of one hookah system. the benefit of this system is that there is no decompression time and you can be underwater pretty much all day if someone fills the gas tank on the engine pumping air. but you are kinda tied down to something so i don't think its true scuba diving.
Very much. I love to participate in the wonderful world of recreational scuba diving.
Depends on the size of the tank.

A scuba diving set can be anywhere from 50 to 100 dollars for a set to do a certification dive, but this is for just rental. I saw a scuba set for 1000 or 2000 dollars, but this is to buy the set. this was just a beginners set, however, and they can go for 5000 dollars for a good set.
Of course the answer is you need to ask a doctor. The big concern I would have is not so much the actual diving, but the weight you are going to have on your back wearing the scuba gear in and out of the water - which will be greater than 50 pounds.
