Is it possible (and/or) has anybody ever parachuted from a sky dive, into the ocean, and began to scuba dive?

As in Skydiving from a plane with full scuba dive gear on into the ocean.
Its almost impossible with all the gear you have to take with you (your skydiving g-suit, parachute and scuba gear(just that alone weighs alot)) and gear… Even if it was possible, it is impractical…
No, you’d only see that stunt done in a James Bond film.

this is an impractical and pointless question to ask its not possible i work in a scuba diveing shop and the amount of gear you have to wear with out weights alone weighs atleast 5kg plust about 20pounds of weight give or take its impossible

Anywhere anybody wants to SCUBA dive they can reliably and safely get to on a boat.
Even a rebreather dive would be limited to a few hours. After that, the diver has to get out of the water. A boat is needed.
Whatever the dive location, some way to get home is needed. If it were a plane, then the plane would have to land on the water to pick up the diver. In that case, the plane would have landed and the diver started from a pontoon in the first place, not jumped with a parachute.
Possible? Not safely.
Likely? Never in real life by normal people.
There are just too many safety and technical reasons not to do something like this.
Sky divers are very safety oriented. A sky diver would never jump over open ocean with no recovery boat, and certainly not carrying all that extra gear.
SCUBA divers are very safety oriented. A diver would never put their gear under the kind of stress from a parachute jump.

i have done both separately and i plan on being the first to do both at the same time. It’s not going to happen anytime soon cause im only 18 but i promise you i will do it. I know you dont believe me but once i do it you’ll see. The hardest part is trying to get all the scuba gear on you without blocking the parachute.
Ok, Im with the asker on this one. This is one of my main goals in life. Asker, when i do this, i will tell you how it goes.:)
