Looks like the cameraman was having a seizure while filming.

Quite. I couldn't watch the whole thing.

Sorry, in my opinion that is crazy and dangerous. Not only was such a young kid wreck diving crazy but the young boat operator who wasn't even tall enough to see out the windows was a hazard! I wonder if the kids get to drive the car too!

Very cool nice Mola. I have a 10yr old that love to dive too. I wish we had that nice clear water up here. Nice video.

I'm not opposed to kids learning to dive. But everyone (in this case, the videographer and the kid) needs much better buoyancy control to go into an overhead environment. Also...who was looking after the kid while the other diver took video? Or maybe that's why the video is a spaz-disaster...the diver wasn't looking at the screen...he was looking at the kid. That would be great!

I wonder if a ten year old can give informed consent considering that young people often view themselves as "immortal" and can't realistically concieve of their own demise. When an adult buys it doing something with inherant risk we can at least say they did so knowing the consequences... but can we say that about someone so young? Dad is certainly assuming some big responsability that may not be his to assume - hope he can live with it.
Forgetting the legal ramifications, it poses an interesting moral question.

Agree... much too young to be doing wreck penetrations. Heck, even I'm not "mature" enough to do that.

since i will follow the padi standards a wreck diver can only being certified within an age of 15 years old. So that will make the boy muth too young.

I bet dumpsterdiver's son knows more about diving and boat handling than 75% of the people on this board.
