    Ive been scuba diving with padi for a while now and im hoping to do the instructor course soon so I know that if you do a PADI diving course usually it consists of about 6 confined water dives and unlesss you are diving every day for a week you will not be able to do the course within a week. I would recomend going once a week for the amount of confined water dives you do. Also there are 5 modules to complete.

    some classes offer to give you full training in as little as a weekend, but I wouldnt reccomend taking that little time to learn. Im 15 and so far have only breathed under a 4 1/2 pool without using a BCD. I don’t know much but youd probably want to do everything you can to make sure you have quality and proper training, its fun but you can get yourself killed very easily if you know little or nothing about what your doing. I think kids 12 and under can possibly do it, but im not for sure.

    A BCD is not a glorified life preserver. As a matter of fact it is not approved as a life vest. A much better comparison is to a fish’s swim bladder.
