My daughter got certified at age 10 and is now 19. We have done a number of father/daughter dive trips and have also squeezed in diving on family trips.
Dedicated dive trips: Bonaire (x2), Cozumel, Belize, Florida, AquaCat liveaboard
Diving while on family vacation: Grenada, San Jose del Cabo, Grand Bahama, Disney World Epcot Aquarium.
Can't say that we have been disappointed with any of these destinations in terms of diving with a Jr Diver.
One thing to keep in mind... for most of our trips, she wasn't too interested in doing more than a couple of dives per day. As she has gotten older, she is more willing to do more dives and she was a trooper on the AquaCat. And that willingness to do more dives per day is limited to warm water only. She does cold with me, but the bulkier gear tires her out quickly. Just be aware that a Jr Diver may not want to dive as much/often as you might want to dive.
