Utah: Boy Scout drowns diving in Bear Lake

[redacted]

Yes it is, because it's a legal definition of when you're considered to be an adult and allowed to do things like sign contracts, and is driven primarily by federal law. If you're thinking of the age of consent, then you're correct.

The data I was asking about is data that would estimate the cost/benefit of changing age requirements for scuba. This is not the type of change that should be inflicted on people based on someones gut feeling.
