An amazing site this last weekend - A kid probably about 12 years old walking into the ocean with two adults fussing over him - one adult in front and one behind. Waste deep with the primary hanging behind his tank off his 1st stage before the rear adult hands the kid:confused: his primary.
 
How on earth is this relevant to the kids age?

I see adults not clipping their long hose off fairly often, unsecured "safe seconds", going cave diving and asking a buddy to turn their valve on, or having dangling gauges, maybe I'll start a thread about adults and diving. Sure the child might not be able to analyze risk as well, but poor diving technique extends so far beyond children.
