How did he get certified....?

Ears are inside the mask. It's like a Mark V helmet.

Doesnt matter. Its supplied by a standard SCUBA regulator which supplies are at ambient pressure. Otherwise it would leak or implode as well.
Any less the lungs wouldnt be able to breathe.

Its been shown before that animals cant equalise and have had document discomfort and harm from these sort of things.

If its genuine that is simply animal cruelty.

Sorry, if the animal is under any type of pain, it is unnecessary cruelty and it is evil.

This video is a few years old showing a scuba cat and dog.

I think that is the ultimate trust me dive. I don't think that the dog can watch his tank pressure.

How did he get certified? By his instructor, of course:

Actually, the full face mask is practical. Hamish, the scuba terrier (below), sometimes can't resist attempting a bark and loses his regulator and is trained to open his mouth to take it back when his tail is pulled. (Possibly a useful training for some human divers.)

The leash is because he tends to chase catfish.

I think the little guy in the bottom photo needs to look for a new buddy.

1. His buddy is using a hand signal but the pooch can't see it.
2. His buddy is breathing his own Octo.
3. His primary and gauges are dragging.
4. Looks like he may also be using those known killer split fins.

:rofl:

For a second there, I thought that was me...but then I realized that it was diver_dog. He probably got certified through PADI I'm guessing; I know they're not too keen on teaching alternative kicking techniques and this particular diver seems to only be utilizing the doggy-paddle.

"Safety stop Sparky, commmme on boy, safety stop Sparky....ohhhh, you're such a good doggy aren't you! Who's Daddy's little safety stopper..."
