Is it a must to know swimming before you do scuba diving? or you can learn both together?
I just wonder, if you do not know how to swim at all, is it possible to do scuba diving? since I think that it is a totally different technique.

I would like to have Njoy water sports like water scooters on rent for day or 2. Please advice.

I smoked for the last 5 years (approx 15 a day), starting when i was 18 and giving up two months ago when I was 23. Since then I’ve decided to start scuba diving, i have to sit a medical in a couple of days and wondered if i am likely to have any trouble? Also, smoking for only 5 years is this likely to effect my diving at all? Is it still just as safe?

I don’t have asthma, or any breathing problems for that matter, I am quite fit and healthy, i had bronchitis a couple winters ago and had pneumonia when i was 13.. Anyone who knows about this kind of thing if they can help me out that would be great! Thanks.

If the force on the tympanic membrane (eardrum) increases by about 1.50 Nabove the force from atmospheric pressure, the membrane can be damaged. When you go scuba diving in the ocean, below what depth could damage to your eardrum start to occur? The eardrum is typically 8.20 mm in diameter. Take the density of seawater to be equal 1.03\times 10^3 kg/m^3.

i have been water skiing my enter life and i am very good at it, how does wake boarding compare
