have searched the scuba diving pages and can’t find any information on the risks associated with the sharing of equipment during diving lessons. Concerned about the spread of herpes and AIDS virus.

      The risks are minimal that you will contract something from shared equipment. If you’re concerned about it, ask your rental equipment supplier. Many shops sanitize their gear.
