For Certification In Scuba Diving, Instruction Is NecessaryCertification Requirements Before you sign up for scuba diving instruction classes, you should make sure that you meet all the requirements of certification. In order to receive an Open Water Diver Certification, you must be 15 years of age. Many scuba diving agencies allow young adults (children ages 10-14) obtain a Junior Open Water Diver Certification. Age is not the only requirement. It is important that you are in good physical health before becoming a certified scuba diver. A routine medical questionnaire is given when you sign up for a scuba diving instruction course, and any health concerns should be discussed with the instructor. Additionally, although it is not necessary that you are an advanced swimmer, you should possess basic swimming skills. A basic swimming skills test is included in all scuba diving instruction classes. Choosing Your Scuba Diving Instructor Selecting the person who will be giving you scuba diving instruction is a very important decision. Make sure that the person who you choose is experienced and patient. You can consult local diving agencies for recommendations, and ask your diving instructor for references if they are available. Time And Money The amount of time that it takes for you to become a certified scuba diver depends on your schedule and the amount of time you can devote to your scuba diving instruction. For people with unlimited free time, it might only take a few weeks to become certified. For others, it could take as long as months. A complete scuba diving instruction course costs anywhere between $175 to $250. This price includes tables, books, and rental equipment. However, the class will most likely cost more if you choose to purchase your own equipment, or if you decide to take a scuba diving course from a resort. A Brand New Hobby Once you are certified in scuba diving, you will have an exciting new hobby that you can safely partake in on vacations and holidays. Get ready for the experience of a lifetime! |
