How old do you have to be to go scuba diving?
by Kate
Hi,
I would like to know what are the main ages for scuba diving?
Hi Kate,
From your question, I take it to mean what are the minimum age requirements for scuba diving. You will be able to find that information on my scuba certification page.
If you mean what are the main ages of people that scuba dive - I can try and answer that. I have never seen any statistics on this so my answer is only from my personal observations. The typical age of divers I have seen during my dive career.
If I had to venture a guess, I would say the majority of scuba divers are in the 25-45 age range with the emphasis toward the older category.
It has been my observation that most people diving are in this age range. It could be that since it is not an inexpensive sport (see cost of scuba diving page for more details), it may be out of reach for younger people.
And as divers get older, physical problems may limit their ability to dive.
If anyone has any other observations or facts on the age of scuba divers, I would be happy to hear it.
Hoped this answered your question. Thanks for getting in touch.
