have searched the scuba diving pages and can’t find any information on the risks associated with the sharing of equipment during diving lessons. Concerned about the spread of herpes and AIDS virus.
The risks are minimal that you will contract something from shared equipment. If you’re concerned about it, ask your rental equipment supplier. Many shops sanitize their gear.
AIDS? TELL ME YOUR KIDDING.
herpes well I guess if they have lips covered in Cole sours then its possible while sharing a mouth piece, underwater highly unlikely seeing most Silvia would be washed off. but yeah I guess its possible like sharing a straw in drink. just do the course with some one you know.
