Scuba Diving - education


Expert: Gustavo E. Flores - 9/30/2008

Question
what type/level of education is required for being a scuba diver

Answer
Greetings Shay,

I am sorry for the delay in getting back to you. The minimum age to experience SCUBA is 8 years of age. Therefore, scuba diving is very easy to learn to do correctly. Although there are different levels of experience and certification programs, the general standard is to take a PADI Open Water Diver course, which will give you all the necessary information to safely begin your underwater adventures.

I hope this answers your question. If there is anything else I can do for you, feel free to ask again.

Sincerely,

Gustavo E. Flores
PADI OWSI Instructor
