It is a few hundred dollars for the classes and the dive shop provides all the scuba equipment you need! You should own your own mask, fins, snorkel however -- but guaranteed you will want to use them all summer long after the class.

Completely forgot about this thread, but my two cents worth is that when I was diving there - about 1972-74, the water was extremely clear. I had done some abalone hunting in and around Bird's Eye Rock before, in the canyons where the current would sweep you 20' in either direction, and was always amazed at how clear the water was there, compared to Oceanside or San Clemente.

Well, that didn't turn out so well for him . . . he had burns on his hands and neck for weeks after that. Jellyfish are no joke! I was surfing up at Oceanside when just a small piece of jellyfish tentacle went down the back of my wetsuit; I had never gotten out of that suit as fast as I did then - even though, I was burned down the middle of my back.

I'm a little confused. Broadnose sevengill sharks (that's the proper name for the one shown in the video) used to be an uncommon sighting in La Jolla, but I was under the impression they had become much, much more common the past 10 years. As for those wreckfish... damn, they were huge! They can get over 8' long, several hundred pounds and they live a very long time in the wild... something like 60-70 years.

I think scuba diving is quite a forgiving sport when it comes to disabilities, however you should gauge the other concerns as well like carrying gear, swimming, and being able to react accordingly in any sort of scenario. If you think you can do all of that effectively, i would say the actual diving and exploring is one of the easiest parts. Good luck! Never too late to start something

Your doctor would need to certify you as physically able to do it.....otherwise no competent instructor would work with you. Get in the pool and start by swimming laps to increase your endurance before you even think about getting into the ocean. Work on maximizing your strengths, first. That should take you about 7-9 months. Your goal is to be able to swim nonstop for an hour - not fast, but at a steady pace.
