[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most places allow scuba certification starting at age 13-14. If your 8 year old is that great at swimming, the kid might not be mature enough to know what to do when things go bad under water. Do snorkeling in deep water instead of shallow water. They will like that. [/quote] This is wrong. The age to be certified is 10, down to 40 feet which is plenty, as all the best stuff is in the 30-40 ft. depth except wreck dives. Below that you lose color. For an 8 yo, kids can do “Bubblemakers” dives. They go to 10 ft and an instructor is right with them the entire time. My kids loved Bubblemakers when they were that age. It’s a great way to fill up a few afternoons. I always dove along with them, but you could totally go read a book on the beach if you wanted. Extremely safe. Plus, after a few years of bubblemakers, certification is easy.[/quote]
