Why is it dangerous for a diver to take a hot shower after a dive?

The theory behind this is that the hot water will raise your body temperature, thus releasing the gases that are trapped in the soft tissues of the body.(like bubbles in a soda bottle) This is dangerous in large volumes because those gases can form small bubbles in the blood stream. (The Bends / or Decompression illness) The likelihood of a hot shower raising your body temp enough to achieve this is very slim. Divers are really only at risk of this if they ascend from a dive at a high rate of speed. (Don't ascend faster than 1 foot per second!)

Were can you take a course on saturation diving which les you go to great depts in diving?
Saturation Divers also dive shallow water by the way, I have worked as a Sat Diver the past 6 years and I started like many going to a Dive school then working in the industry for a while, you have to start at the bottom, become a tender, tender/diver, diver, ect... all depends on what you want to do. Sat diving is used not mainly for depth it allows max depth through HeO2 satuaration but the main reason is to be able to work undersea for longer periods of time.... look up Commercial Dive Schools first... do that then take a few years as a diver in the industry, I attended INPP for my Sat Course.
Can you scuba dive in Mexico without a license?
Theoretically if you had your own gear, including tank of air, you can dive anywhere that's got water but it's not recommended unless you know the dive site. If you don't have a licence, a dive centre should not allow you to dive. They can take you out on a "discover scuba diving" dive. This will be to a maximum of 12m. If you are qualified but have forgotten or lost your cert card, they can look you up on the pro website. If not qualified with at least PADI scuba diver cert, no one should let you dive. If they do, I would think twice about the dive operation you are using.
