The 5 W's on Scuba diving.... Is it for you?  What is it about?

Here at Seeoursea we want to make sure that anyone who has questions concerning this wonderful sport of Scuba can get the answers they desire. We have provided some information we feel is a good starter point.

Scuba diving is a complex sport and cannot be fully understood in one lesson. Before taking your first scuba class, you should have a firm comprehension of the five Ws (who, what, where, when, and why) of scuba diving.
Who can dive?
Just about anyone can become a diver. Scuba diving is an equal opportunity sport open to men, women and children of any race, color, religion, national origin, handicap or familial status. However, there are a few limitations on age and health for safety purposes. Here is a quick breakdown of criteria:

- Age
Anyone 15 years old or older can become an Open Water Diver. Children between the ages of 10 and 15 can receive a Junior Open Water Diver certification. At the age of 15 they can upgrade to a regular Open Water Diver certification.

There are programs available for younger children that will help prepare them for certification such as the Bubblemakers

 

What do divers do?
Scuba divers do more than check out the fish. Depending on your interests, you can specialize in a skill for your own pleasure or make diving a career option. Scuba diving can be broken down into four groups: recreational, commercial, scientific, and military.
Why do people scuba dive?
There is no one simple answer to this question. People dive for their own personal reasons, which can include an appreciation for the ocean, an interest in marine life, or just for the thrill of the ride
Where do divers dive?
Scuba divers dive wherever there is water: oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, quarries, waterways, canals, and you can even try your own swimming pool if you want.
 
When is the best time to dive?
Any time of year is a good time to dive. Just because it is fall or winter, it doesn’t mean you can’t dive. There are many cold water and ice divers out there. You can take specialty courses to prepare you for cold water diving. If you are a warm water fan, take a vacation to a tropical island and enjoy.  Since we are in the state of Illinois we have experenced Ice divers on staff always looking for a buddy to join them.
