What is SCUBA health insurance?
Scuba health insurance is the insurance that protects you while you are scuba diving if you need any health procedures because of your diving. For example, if you were to get the bends from scuba diving, or if your lung were to rupture from holding your breath, this scuba insurance would cover it. Since paying for these procedures are very expensive "out of pocket," this means that you might not get the treatment unless you have this, or at least you could not pay it off.
What types of scuba diving can I go on?
Professional Diving is a type of diving where the divers are paid for their work. Recreational diving or sport diving is a type of diving that uses SCUBA equipment for the purpose of leisure and enjoyment. Military, navy, rescue and police diving courses need to be taken per your division or location. Technical and scientific diving is mainly for research and exploration.
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.
What physical things do you need to scuba dive?

What is the difference between a diving wetsuit and a surfing wetsuit?
in one of the them you are wet and in the other one you are dry honest... it's that simple. a wetsuit is (usually) made of neoprene and allows a limited amount of water into the suit. that is why you want a good fitting wetsuit, because you do NOT want a lot of water moving in and out of the suit, just a little. this small amount of water (debateably) warms up and helps the insulation properties of the wetsuit a drysuit is just that. you are COMPLETELY dry for the duration of your dive. it is therefor also much more complex in construction to complete this herculean task of keeping all water out of the suit from neck seals, to arm seals and such. ps: it is easy to weeWee in wetsuit, you need to have all kinds of special apparatus to weeWee in a drysuit.
What do scuba divers need for a good education?
Like all adults or older teenagers; scuba divers need English and Maths also physics and scuba diving training. Hope I answered your question xx
Why cant there just be one person diving?
You need a buddy in scuba in case something happens, like you run out of air or something. You definitely always need a buddy in scuba!!!
