[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After reading that mythbuster thing quoted above I am now terrified to let my teen go scuba diving. That doesn’t actually happen does it? How deep do scuba divers usually go?[/quote] PADI certified diver here - most recreational scuba diving is limited to maximum of 130 feet, and that's after specialized training. Open water certification involves diving at less than 100 feet. It is still possible to get very sick and die from the bends if the diver ascends too rapidly, but the risks are much lesser in recreational diving depths than for technical divers who go down as deep as 350 feet. Scuba is an incredible experience and one of the best things I've done in my life. I would not hesitate to recommend it, but would certainly caution to learn from and dive with responsible risk averse people.[/quote]
