This weekend I am taking my 10 year old grand son to a LDS for a discovery dive. He loves the water and is very excited. If he does well He will want to get certified so he can dive with me.I am very excited about this myself. my question is:I have nearly always had a backplate and wing and wouldn't use anything else. should i start him off in ow class with a BPW or let him use a traditional poodle jacket? Is there one small enough for a 10 year old?would this cause more difficulties for him in class because I am sure no one else will be using one. The LDS does offer tech training but doesnt have any tech gear in their rental or training stock. Maybe some instructors can give me their opinion.
