You had to be strong swimmer when I took my cert. We had to dive in and swim the length of an Olympic size pool underwater. On my open water we had jump off of a 30' high bridge in full gear.
I was only 13yrs old, I was the first NAUI Junior scuba diver in Ontario. I had the 2nd highest mark in the class, at least 4-5 maybe more out of (aprox) 25 people failed. I believe it was a 36 hour course, written exam and 2 open water dives. I had to have a parent with me (not in the water) to dive or get air fills. My moms boss (dentist) had written permission to be my guardian and would take me on dives.
I had my scuba bronze medallion at 15 or 16. I had to perform artificial respiration on an old guy, yuck.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
