PADI Advanced OW is from 15 years old. Presumably what he now has is Junior AOW.

There is no law limiting him to any depth. Due to the limited training it is best if you stay shallow for a while and that is for everyone. But there is some extra cautions with the young ones because they are not developed yet.

Not to worry. If you go to 21.1 or 50 meters the SCUBA police will not throw you in the klink.
