It's highly advisable to take a course but there's no laws against it. Although I don't know of too many dive shops that would rent you gears without a certification, or too many people would let you tag along without a dive cert.

Well, depends. You can take a course call Discover Scuba Diving which is an introduction to scuba with a divemaster or instructor, it's not a full course, you basically "tag along" with the DM, as a Divemaster I can teach those.

As for "tagging along" with just a regular diver, it's up to you and to them, but I HIGHLY advise against it. Diving is an extremely safe sport when it's done properly, but it can only be done properly with the right training or direct supervision. Without that it can be very dangerous, so if I were you I wouldn't try tagging along with just anybody.

If you want to try it check out some local Dive shops and see if they offer a DSD program, they're usually not very expensive, $100 or so, and it includes all your gear rentals and access to the pool or dive site.

It's been redone recently, so road is a little better. There are way too many side roads though, until you get to ozark state park. I love dlits video because almost all of the corners here are blind, and i hate that.
