Controlling one's anger

Q: My 18 year old son at times drives me crazy. He always argues and debates. I would like to do my islaah as far as anger is concerned. I have listened and read all the advises and bayaans of the Ulama as far as anger is concerned. But when I am in the situation I forget everything because I am too busy fighting and arguing with him to remember anything. After I have said alot of bad things to him, I regret and feel bad as to how badly I have behaved towards him. How can I reform myself. 

Taubah for a music producer

Q: I used to produce music and instrumentals but alhamdulillah I have repented from both listening to and making music. I am worried about the songs I released before, should I worry about them and try to get them deleted or am I free from it since I repented?

I also produced the background music for a podcast/show. I have sincerely repented from making any more music or sending/promoting my music. I feel absolutely horrible and I hope that this spread of my music doesn't come for me in my grave.

Repentance

Q: I would like to ask the following question on repentance

1. Does repentance wipe out previous sins?

2. Am I always obliged to confess to the one whom I've wronged even if this might bring severe enmity?

3. How do I feel regret during repenting?

Diving in Islam

Q: Is diving permissible in Islam? If one goes diving with the intention of fulfilling the sunnah of swimming, will this be allowed?

Someone told me that it is impermissible because there is fire under the ocean according to a Hadith. If that is the case then how did the Sahaabah learn how to swim since they did not have swimming pools like how we have today?
