My husband and I would love to go scuba diving
Make sure you have some scuba skills! There are several different apparatuses to dive safely.
I am pretty sure we would have to take diving classes
Yeah you probably would due to the underwater environment causing severe physical and psychological stress on the diver.
I think there are lots of things about scuba diving people do not know, wspecially haw dangerous it could be
Especially if you go solo diving, meaning underwater diving without a dive buddy.
I would never go alone, only with a partner
Yeah the practice of buddy diving is recommended.
I think you actually need a certification to scuba dive, dont you
Yeah you do plus the equipment is only meant to operate underwater for very short episodes.
