whats the shallowest dive that you've been on. It has to be full scuba gear, no hooka and not in a pool.
 
6 feet, open water for 120+ minutes, inspecting the bottom for obstacles before laying a fiber-optics cable in a shallow bay.
 
We do a lot of dives were the max depth is 6 m but he interesting stuff are between the rocks near shore which often goes to 1 m depth. Surf is always a problem in these zones but if you care careful you can see lots of fish life in these zones where i dive. There one short under water cave/arch which opens up after 4-5 m distance and the depth is 3-4 m.
 
Well over 2 hours in 6 feet of water in a very protected, shallow bay with crappy vis and nothing worthwhile to see, teaching students to count kick cycles and estimate distances using buoys set 100m apart.
 
4m and about 70 minutes. Dive buddy got cold so we came up - even though it was a pretty cool dive.

I do a lot of "Rapid Diving" in 15' or less. I live on Cape Cod a few minutes from Cape Cod Bay which is notoriously shallow. It's terrific diving, teaming with sea life including lobsters and crabs. When I dive this area I use a compact RAPID DIVER system which is actually a full scuba kit just more compact.
 
15 ft. off of West Bay Beach, Roatan Honduras. My sons first ocean dive...he was 8.
