How young can people learn to scuba dive?
To complete a four to five day entry-level course that qualifies the individual to dive, the minimum age if you train with BSAC is 14 years, and the minimum age for PADI is 10 years. That said, children as young as five years old can now get a taste of scuba. PADI now has a course for five years olds to try out a form of scuba. Their Supplied Air Snorkelling for Youth (SASY) course involves snorkelling with scuba equipment instead of a snorkel.
