As a child in the pool my ears hurt a lot when I was submerged, can I dive?
Yes, assuming you have no irregularities in your ears and breasts. Discomfort is the normal effect of water pressure on your ears.
Fortunately, our bodies are designed to adjust for pressure changes in our ears (you just need to learn how).
If you have no difficulty adjusting air pressure during a flight, you probably won't have any trouble learning to adjust water pressure when diving.
The certifying doctor will do a complete inspection even looking at the compensation on your eardrums.

In principle, yes, although it may be a good time to think about quitting. Only the doctor can assess your risk.
Do women have any special consideration regarding diving?

How long does an air bottle last?
This is one of the most common questions, and the answer is relative: all people breathe at different speeds, and they breathe faster when jogging than sitting, for example. Thus, the deeper you go, the more air will be consumed.
In addition, there are bottles of different sizes, and whenever you dive, a manometer is worn to control the amount of air left in the bottle.
