Question: Do you have to be certified to scuba dive in Florida? Can I Still scuba dive now that the oil spill has hit?

Answer #1:

To be able to scuba dive without supervision you need to be a certified diver. You can get a short introduction to scuba diving without being certified, but you will be under the direct supervision of a scuba instructor for the entire time.

I don't know if or where scuba diving on the Gulf coast of Florida has been affected by the oil spill. If you are going to be at a location that has been contaminated with oil, I would definitely think it would be inadvisable to go diving in those conditions. However, if you aren't sure what the conditions are where you are going, you should contact someone at that location to find out instead of relying on rumors which are often incorrect.
