   A lot of it is, but this guy seems to think hes a trimix diver judging by all the tanks hes got- you will need to know how to change regs and basic stuff like that. You dont need a “license” to dive, or buy dive equipment but you need to be qualified to get air fills or go out on a dive charter. Plus, if you aren’t qualified, there is a pretty good chance that you will end up killing yourself. So for the sake of a few hundred quid, its definately worth it.

   is it possible to learn most of what u need to know about PADI scuba diving by a week, even if you are 13 years old???? plz someone answer me!!

   You can become a certified diver in a week if you dive centre offers this course schedule. Google for padi open water diver.

    I got my certification when I was 12, but in several night classes over several months. There are intensive, week-long course. But unless you’re in a vacation spot, don’t expect your local dive shop to offer them.

    No. It isn’t.

    how much does that equitment weigh?

13. jupiterrider, on July 6th, 2009 at 10:05 am Said:

    …everything is possible for a ‘man’, but scuba diving is not about possibilities, is about traing knowlege and experience. So even if you learn everything in one week you still can not dive safely in one week…after all there is a minimum of age and i think is 16 or 18 years old..

    depends on how much lead you need to carry

15. scubadiverguy, on July 12th, 2009 at 12:49 am Said:

16. himlenlyser, on July 18th, 2009 at 5:52 pm Said:

    My instructor said this to me when i finished my NAUI OW. Now you learned how to dive, but now you must learn to dive” I think that was a good thing to say

17. U853, on July 19th, 2009 at 12:19 am Said:

    For you, yes. Yes they are.

18. U853, on July 19th, 2009 at 12:22 am Said:

    Those are steel tanks. (even the deco cylinders) You would need no lead.

19. TheSlamma, on July 28th, 2009 at 7:41 pm Said:

    Man I’d rather dive for fun then have 3 tanks on me

20. slmjml, on August 3rd, 2009 at 5:41 am Said:

    thats for deep dives

    the smaller tank is enriched oxygen, it is used for coming up

    the two tanks in the back is a mix with helium in order to negate the effects of what i believe is called in english nitrogen narcosis

21. cheltcanary, on August 3rd, 2009 at 10:26 am Said:

    the smaller tank might be “enriched air” (ie, over 21% mix) – for accelerated deco, OR it might be “oxygen” (100%) – again for deco (but limited MOD is 6m for 100%).

    the two tanks on his back is just a twin-set – doesnt mean he’s diving on helium! A helium mix would mean he’s diving on a trimix which means he can go deeper for longer – but thats all.

    When in water, it weighs nothing. However, when you try to climb aboard a boat after a dive, you feel as heavy as a car.

    good ol martini effect

24. hunterhalo2, on August 19th, 2009 at 4:55 am Said:

    How is this advanced? The only concept that was remotely challenging seemed to be shut down procedure.

    He shows good bouyancy control. Not as easy as it looks. All of this is a step up from the ‘basic’ diver course.
