I started diving aged around 45 and am so glad I did it’s amazing! as long as you are reasonably healthy you should be ok, if you pick a good dive centre and discuss honestly with them all the health questions and can sign the paperwork truthfully there should be no problems, my instructor is over 80, dives every day and is as fit as an ox, I just wished I’d started earlier, go for it

Perhaps they'd be open to letting you go with an instructor when on holiday? That's how I had my first dive when I was 13. Traveled to Egypt and booked dives. The instructors in Egypt, in my experience, will hold you if you're not certified. I also don't think they take you deeper than ten meter (but I could be wrong), which isn't a very dangerous depth. But everyone is different so doing research beforehand is essential. There are absolutely those diving centers that have no business being a diving center, with instructors that should not be allowed to scuba dive. Hey, that was when I was 13. When I was 22, that is when I did the same thing and went diving again - only this time, I decided to get certified as soon as I got back home. I booked the course while at the airport. That was in 2018, and I have circa 200 dives now. (I wasn't very active last year and the year before, so I could've had much more.) I do a few dives every week here in Norway. I had to wait a while, sure, but it was worth it, so I wouldn't worry too much. You can always snorkel and learn more about the oceans and the life forms there until you get older! There are also plenty of other cool things to see, like old wrecks and caves
