like I said, I was 12 years old when I recieved my lifegaurding...so I was 16 when I recieved 4 seperate courses for scuba training. Maybe the rules have changed in the last 7 years....because I am now 23.

However, the place I did my training at had an indoor pool with a pool (tank) designed for scuba training. It was setup much like a lake...Sand on the floor, fake koral, fish and such. I should have cleared that up in my statement. It wasn't so much a swimming pool as it was an indoor lake. Maybe that is why? All I know is that somewhere at my parents house I do have the certificates. Plus A wallet sized thing with the levels.


EDIT: I also just found out that they now longer do levels. In order to recieve what I have you just have to take a weekend course after you complete the main scuba training. BAAA to that...took me like 5 months total over 4 years.
