Why do you want doubles? What problem are you trying to solve with doubles?

Son,
You stay away from deep, long dives for now. You have at least four years until your epiphyseal lines have finished their growth work. I'm serious.

what the heck are epiphyseal and thanks but i no am 14 no need to tell me and treat me as i were stupid

 

[Rick Murchison]

I will entertain you once.
Your epiphyseal lines are the growth areas near the ends of your long bones. They are suspected to be highly susceptable to potential damage from hyperbaric stresses, particularly from nitrogen bubbles. They are active until you have quit growing, typically 18-20. That is why at 14 you shouldn't dive beyond 60' (18M), and you should'nt even come close to the no-decompression limits.
------------------------
Now, that answered, if you expect to get information from me or anyone else on this board, you will tone your language down a bit.
Rick

Listen to the advice you are hearing here. I have two sons OLDER than you that are not mature enough yet to try Scuba - If you don't believe all us old farts, then listen to Divers Alert Network. These are the people that are the undisputed authorities on diving and medicine: look at this link that speaks about young divers...

This sport is about having SAFE FUN...don't get caught up in the competition for whose got the biggest or most tanks or deepest dive - stick to spitting and wrestling contests...you'll live long enough to enjoy old gas and good grammar.
